GOPO TOYS Pull String Teething Toys, sold on Amazon.com, have been recalled. The silicone strings are smaller and longer than the mandatory toy standard allows and can reach the back of a child's throat and become lodged, posing a risk of respiratory distress and choking.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the teething toy immediately, take it away from children and contact GOPO Toys to receive a full refund. Consumers will be asked to destroy the toy by cutting all silicone strings and writing in permanent marker "DESTROYED" on the main body of the toy and send a photo of the destroyed toy to recalls@gopotoys.com. Consumers should then dispose of the destroyed product.
