Company recalls 180K pacifiers
VAN NUYS, Calif. – About 180,000 pacifiers have been recalled due to a choking hazard.
The federal Consumer Product Safety Commission said the recall involves Munchkin-brand Latch lightweight pacifiers and clips, which are sold as a set. The commission said the clip cover can detach from the clip itself, creating a choking hazard.
Commission spokeswoman Patty Davis said Munchkin is conducting a voluntary recall in cooperation with the government.
There have been 10 reports of the clip cover coming off in the United States and Canada, but no injuries were reported.
The sets were sold between March 2014 and March of this year at retailers nationwide, including Babies ‘R Us, Target, Walmart and Amazon.
