Summary by Recall Canary from the CPSC notice

What happened

Shenzhen Mailesi Technology Co., Ltd., dba Vanfun, is recalling AiTuiTui Pull String Teething Toys because the silicone strings are smaller than permitted and violate the mandatory standard for toys. The strings can reach the back of the throat and become lodged, posing a risk of respiratory distress, serious choking hazard, and death. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is aware of 15 choking incidents and two incidents of children able to bite pieces off the silicone strings.

The teething toy is an off-white disc shape with either a red ball or blue ball in the middle and six long pull string tentacles of various colors running through the ball. There are also three free-spinning rings on one side and soft push buttons on the disc. The model 688-59 is printed on the product packaging. The toys were sold online at Amazon.com from August 2022 through September 2025 for about $10. They were made in China.
