The recall involves the Munchkin Latch Lightweight Pacifier & Clip that were sold together as a matching set. They were sold in 5 different designs. This includes the 0m+ natural shape pacifiers in designer, rattle and heartbeat styles. It also includes the 6m+ orthodontic pacifiers in designer and rattle styles. All of them are pictured above.

The reason for the recall is that there have been 10 reports of the clip cover detaching from the pacifier clip. This can pose a choking hazard. So far, there have been no reports of injuries. But, due to the choking hazard, the Munchkin company is voluntarily recalling these items.

If your baby is still using these pacifiers, take them away immediately and contact Munchkin for a free replacement or full refund. You can call them at 877-242-3134 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday or visit their website.

The pacifiers were sold at Babies R Us, Target, Walmart, Amazon, and many other retailers both on and offline between March 2014 and March 2016 for about $11 - $15 each.
