Recent reports have raised alarms among parents regarding the safety of mushroom-shaped teethers, specifically the Mombella Mimi Mushroom Teether and the Eco Inspired Mushroom Teether Toy. Following safety concerns about potential asphyxiation risks, Amazon has alerted customers to refrain from using these products. Emails circulated among buyers indicated that these teethers could create a seal at the back of a child’s throat, posing a choking hazard.
In light of these warnings, many parents have taken to social media to share the communications they received. These emails advised users to “stop using it immediately” and “dispose of the item.” While Amazon has removed these products from its platform, they remain available on other retailers like Walmart.
Both teethers are designed from silicone and feature a suction cup base that allows them to be secured to surfaces such as high chair trays. Despite the heightened concerns, there has been no formal recall issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regarding these items. A CPSC spokesperson did not confirm any recall status for the Mombella Mimi Mushroom teether when asked.
