A Little Rawr baby teether sold on Amazon has been recalled after federal officials warned that its silicone pull strings can pose a "deadly choking hazard" once inside a child's mouth.
About 2,180 units of the Little Rawr teether for babies are included in the recall.
What happened?
Federal officials announced the recall on August 6, affecting roughly 2,180 Little Rawr teethers, according to Econostrum. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the toy was pulled because its pull strings can extend into a child's throat and become lodged.
The commission said the teether doesn't comply with the mandatory federal toy safety standard. The strings on the product, sold by Shenzhen Okabesini Technology Co., Ltd. under the name Okabesini-us, exceed the allowed dimensions.
Amazon.com exclusively sold the teether from September 2025 through April 2026 for about $11 to $15. Made in China, the toy is a blue, round item with a center ball, several multicolored silicone strings, and a row of soft push buttons.
The commission said it has received one report of a child's breathing distress or choking linked to the toy.

Why does it matter?
Any interruption in breathing can become an emergency for infants and toddlers. The commission said the strings pose a lodging risk near a child's airway.
Federal regulators have flagged similar risks in other children's items in recent months, including a doll-and-stroller toy set and a whale-shaped popping toy.
What's being done?
Stop using the teether right away and keep it out of children's reach.
Affected customers can get a full refund from the manufacturer by cutting the silicone strings to destroy the teether and then submitting a photo, according to the recall notice.
The recalled item can be recognized by its blue disc shape, center ball, five colorful pull strings, and push buttons on the front. The model number is C-MBE-024, while the identification number is X004Q55E07. However, the CPSC said that "there is no identifying information on the product."
