Emergency recall of ‘Mushroom Teether Toys' for babies

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) is alerting Mayo consumers to an emergency measure product recall notice by Amazon.

It relates to the ‘Mushroom Teether Toys' for newborn babies, toddlers and infants.

The affected products were listed on the Amazon website since September 24, 2021, with approximately 40 affected products sold in the Republic of Ireland.

The CCPC is urging consumer who may have purchased one of these products, or receive one as a gift, to discontinue use immediately and contact Amazon for further details of what to do next.

This high-risk status recall is being carried out across a number of European countries due to a serious safety risk, where the mushroom head of the baby soother can flip around creating a very tight suction and cause suffocation of infants, babies and toddlers.

Alerted to the CCPC via the EU-wide RAPEX product safety information sharing system, this recall represents the first emergency measure notice of 2022, a safety warning status reserved for extremely high-risk products, including those that pose a serious fatality risk.
