Silicone utensils sold at major retailers and online have been reported to break during use, posing a choking risk to infants.
Melii Baby, a Canadian company specializing in baby products, has recalled more than 85,000 silicone spoons due to concerns about breakage that could create a choking hazard for infants. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission announced this recall on December 21, following two instances where the spoons broke during use.
These spoons, adorned with colorful animal designs like cats, dinosaurs, and unicorns, were available for purchase from April to August 2024 at retailers including Aldi, Ross, and various online platforms such as Amazon and buybuyBaby.com. Included in the recall are three-packs with the date code 2024-01, four-packs with date codes between 2023-12 and 2024-05, and all spoons found in five-piece feeding sets. The date codes can be found printed on the back of the utensils.
According to the CPSC, the silicone material in these spoons can crack or break during use, resulting in small fragments that may pose a choking risk. Although no injuries have been reported, consumers are strongly advised to cease using the spoons immediately and dispose of them. Melii Baby is providing free replacements.
In a statement released by the CPSC, Melii Baby reaffirmed its dedication to child safety, stating it is fully cooperating with the recall. “The safety of our products is our top priority, and we are working diligently to ensure that this situation is rectified,” the company said.
The spoons were manufactured in China and retailed for prices ranging from $8 to $9. The CPSC is encouraging consumers to report any incidents related to the product and follow the provided recall guidelines.
Additionally, the CPSC is urging consumers to report any incidents involving the recalled spoons or other hazardous products.
