  1. No one hurt

    Made Oct 29, 2012, sent to the company Nov 8, 2012, published by CPSC Dec 3, 2012

    The product, in the report: Dr. Browns PreVent Pacifier 2-pack (orange and blue) for 0-6 Months. We bought this product at Target in Minneapolis.

    We bought the double pack of Dr. Browns PreVent pacifiers (orange and blue) approximately 2 months ago from Target. On 10/29/12 I found the pacifier in 3 pieces in my 8 month old’s crib. The three pieces included the rubber piece, the orange colored cap, and the piece that holds the rubber. There was no indication that the pacifier was broken at the time of purchase or prior to finding it in the crib. He did not have any pieces in his mouth when I found it, but this was definitely a choking hazard.
