Delta Enterprise Corp. Announces Recall of 180,000 Lov's Pacifiers
On May 12, 2005 Delta Enterprise Corp. of Brooklyn, New York announced the recall of approximately 180,000 "Lov's Decorated Orthodontic Pacifier." Consumers should discard the pacifiers and contact the firm for instructions on how to obtain a refund or replacement product due to a known choking hazard
The pacifiers failed Federal Safety tests when the nipple repeatedly separated from the pacifier under otherwise normal use conditions. This poses a serious choking hazard to infants and young children.
Because of these failures, the product is banned completely by order of the Federal Government. The Federal Government has received one complaint of the nipple separating on a 6 month old child who was found gagging on the rubber nipple; however the child was not injured.
The recalled pacifier measures about 2-1/4 inches in width and 1-1/2 inches in length and has button or hinged handles. The pacifiers are white with various colored handles. Designs are imprinted on some pacifier shields. One pacifier shield is decorated with a pink elephant, a purple giraffe with green polka dots, a blue lion with yellow fur and a blue cloud and yellow sun. Another pacifier shield has blue stars with Santa shapes. The amber colored nipple, imprinted with the words "caoui," "chouc" and "pur," is about 1-1/8 inches long. "Lov 2-Pack," "Decorated Orthodontic Pacifier," and "97705" are printed on the front packaging of the pacifiers. "Delta Enterprise Corp., Brooklyn NY 11212 Made in Thailand" is printed on the package back
Manufactured in Thailand, these pacifiers were sold primarily through small retail stores nationwide from November 2001 through December 2004 at an average cost of about $1 each.
