The product, in the report: Bright Starts Snuggle & Teethe Plush Teething Baby Toy - Elephant, Crinkle Fabric Color: turquoise with neon green feet as teethers Dimensions: 3.75” x 4.5” x 1.0”
My 7 month old was biting on the Bright Starts Snuggle & Teethe Plush Teething Baby Toy - Elephant, Crinkle Fabric, and bit off a small portion of the silicone/plastic piece/foot of the toy. I’m assuming she swallowed the piece as I couldn’t find the piece lying anywhere. She did not choke and currently does not have severe issues, and I’m hoping she will pass the piece that she swallowed. I did not realize the silicone/plastic portion of this toy could actually be bitten off - if I had known I would have never given my infant this toy. This is incredibly unsafe and I am very concerned.

The product, in the report: Bright Starts Take N Shake cow
My 6 month old daughter was laying under our play gym playing with the toys we had hanging there. One of the toys hanging down was the Bright Starts Take N Shake cow (which is an age 0+ toy). She had the foot in her mouth and was chewing on it. She was being supervised by an adult in the room with her. She somehow got the foot into her throat (we are not sure if she inhaled or swallowed), and it became lodged causing her to choke and vomit. My husband immediately tipped her over to clear her mouth of vomit and had to pull the toy out of her throat. It never became detached from the toy or the play gym, but she still managed to get it stuck in her throat. She did not have any injuries.

The product, in the report: Brightstarts Kids II Pretty in Pink Tug Tunes (Bug), Model number 8987
My six month old was playing with a baby toy which has a soft, stuffed foot at the end of a leg made of string. The baby was able to place the entire foot (a ball slightly more than one inch in diameter) completely inside of her month. That seemed fairly dangerous to me.
