Elegant Baby and Baby Needs Inc. are recalling about 200 sterling silver teethers.
The hearts and cars on the teethers can break off, posing a choking hazard to infants.
Elegant Baby has received one report of a baby mouthing the heart when it broke off the teether and became lodged in his mouth.
The sterling silver teethers are circle-shaped with either a heart or car in the center. The teethers have beads inside. The teethers measure two inches in diameter.
The teethers, made in Mexico, were sold at independent infant clothing boutiques nationwide from February 2005 through September 2006 for about $50.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled teethers away from infants and contact the firm for instructions on returning the teethers for a full refund.
Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact Elegant Baby at (800) 334-5321 Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, or visit the firm's Web site at www.elegantbaby.com.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
