Recall at a glance

What was recalled

January 11, 1994 Release # 94-032 PRODUCT: "Pacifier Thermometers," brand name "Dubby." About 340 pacificer thermometers were imported from Taiwan by M.J. Harris and Associates and distributed nationwide through pharmacies and mail-order companies between April and August 1993. The pacifier thermometers are pink or blue with a clear silicon rubber nipple. They are sold in blue boxes with a window front; the name "Dubby" is printed on the top panel. PROBLEM: Because the product is both a pacifier and a thermometer, it is subject to FDA requirements and CPSC's pacifier regulations. During CPSC testing, the nipples separated from the base of the pacifier thermometers presenting a potential choking hazard to infants and young children. WHAT TO DO: Consumers should take the pacifier thermometers away from infants and young children immediately and return them to the stores or mail-order firms where purchased for a full refund. Consumers with questions about this recall may contact M.J. Harris and Associates at 1-800-531-5486 WASHINGTON, DC -- CPSC, M.J.

The pacifier thermometer fell apart during routine CPSC testing to determine compliance with CPSC's Pacifier Requirements. The pacifier's nipple separated from the base, presenting a potential choking hazard to infants and young children. The pacifiers have a built-in electronic L.C.D. thermometer that displays the temperature of the baby who is sucking on the nipple. The pacifier thermometers are blue or pink with a clear silicon rubber nipple. The pacifier thermometers are sold in blue boxes with a sticker that reads "Made in Taiwan." The boxes have a window front and the name "Dubby" printed on the top panel. A clear plastic storage cover is provided with each pacifier thermometer. The pacifier thermometers were imported by M.J. Harris and Associates from Taiwan and distributed through pharmacies and mail-order firms nationwide between April and August of this year. Each pacifier thermometer sold for as much as $12.50. Consumers are urged to take the pacifier thermometers away from babies and young children immediately and return them to the stores or mail-order firms where purchased for a full refund.
