Shims Bargain Inc. Recalls Pacifiers Due to Choking Hazard

By Jenny Albano

Shims Bargain Inc., in conjunction with the CPSC, is recalling about 45,000 "BabyTown" Pacifiers due to a choking hazard.

These pacifiers fail to meet federal safety standards for pacifiers. The pacifier shield is too small and could easily enter the mouth of an infant. Also, ventilation holes are too small and not placed to allow for the insertion of a tool to remove the pacifier when lodged in the mouth of a child. Finally, the package fails to display the required warning instructing consumers not to tie a pacifier around a child's neck, which would present a strangulation hazard.
