  1. No one hurt

    Made May 21, 2013, sent to the company May 30, 2013, published by CPSC Jun 20, 2013

    The product, in the report: Garanimals Textured Bead Teether. Teething ring with orange, yellow, purple, blue, and green textured beads. Two big blue beads, larger than other beads.

    My son was given a Garanimals Textured Bead Teether sometime around September 2011. The toy is a ring with chewy balls for babies to gnaw on. Unfortunately, the balls come off with persistent chewing (which is what teething is all about). The balls are the perfect size to be swallowed and thus present a huge choking risk. My son doesn’t use the teething ring very often, but he managed to chew off two balls in relatively short order. The seams of glue that hold the balls together around the ring come right apart with enough pressure. I’ve taken the teether away from my son, obviously, but I’m concerned about other babies who have this ring. A brief search online revealed that others have had the exact same problem and have contacted the company, but no recall has been initiated.

  2. No one hurt

    Made Dec 10, 2012, sent to the company Jan 3, 2013, published by CPSC Jan 17, 2013

    The product, in the report: Garanimals teething ring and rattle. Plastic green frog head with 13 beads of various sizes and shapes strung on a plastic ring. This ring is attached to the frogs head.

    I recently purchased a Garanimal teething ring from Walmart. It has beads on a plastic ring attached to a frog head. My 7 mo. old granddaughter was playing with it and I saw a yellow bead on the floor under her walker. I immediately took the toy form her and saw that the plastic ring had broken right where it attaches to the frog head. Thankfully, the bead fell to the floor and not lodged in her throat. Also, I’m thankful that I was right there with her and took it away before more beads came off which would have happened in a matter of seconds. This toy needs to be taken off shelves immediately and anyone who has one should throw it away.
