Gerber has issued a warning regarding its Soothe 'n' Chew teething sticks, which were previously recalled due to choking hazards. The company has discovered that the recalled product is still being sold by some retailers, both in physical stores and online.
The recall was initiated after concerns arose about the potential for the teething sticks to break into small pieces, posing a choking risk to infants. Gerber has since discontinued the product. However, despite these measures, the company is finding that the recalled sticks are still available for purchase in certain locations.
Gerber is urging parents and caregivers to exercise caution and to carefully inspect any Soothe 'n' Chew teething sticks they may have purchased. If the product matches the recalled lot numbers, it should be discarded immediately and not given to babies. Consumers can find information on the recalled lot numbers on Gerber's website or by contacting the company's customer service department.
"The safety of babies is always our top priority," said a Gerber spokesperson. "We are working diligently with retailers to remove the recalled product from shelves, but we want to ensure that parents are aware of the situation and can take the necessary precautions."
Parents who have purchased the recalled teething sticks are encouraged to contact Gerber for information on how to receive a refund or replacement.
