The product, in the report: It is a one piece clear and blue silicone MAM pacifier. It has the numbers 241001HL402 on it. It measures approximately 4.5cm x 3.5 cm x 4cm

My 5 month old was playing with a pacifier when suddenly she started crying. The whole pacifier was found lodged into her mouth. My mother had to manually dislodge it. Upon removal, her tongue was dark, my mom described it as “black”. The color return to normal within seconds and so did her breathing.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(10/21/2026) MAM USA: We guarantee that all MAM pacifiers correspond to the European pacifier standard EN1400 and have been developed in accordance with state-of-the-art scientific knowledge. The pacifier in question has all the important characteristics required to guarantee the baby’s safety. The shield is ergonomically shaped so that the baby can breathe without difficulties. Large ventilation holes prevent the baby to suffocate even when it manages to get the pacifier totally into its mouth. Every product is subjected to several standardized tests before it leaves our factory.

The product, in the report: Mam pacifier, purple color, glow in the dark

We gave a Mam pacifier to our 5 month old baby daughter and stepped away and within moments she managed to flip it sideways and lodge it in her mouth. Thank God I was nearby and noticed she was unusually quiet, and when I came by, saw the pacifier stuck in her mouth sideways, almost halfway swallowed. I had to pry it out of her mouth so Im sure it hurt her but thank God she is alive. That led me to [REDACTED] and finding out that pacifiers arent as safe as theyre advertised to be.

Hello, My son uses MAM pacifiers and last night we had an extremely upsetting incident. He woke up crying because the pacifier had broken in two. Luckily, he knew to take the broken nipple out of his mouth and alert us to the fact that it had broken. Clearly this is a huge choking hazard! A MAM pacifier broke once before. It was my son’s first time using it and the nipple broke right off. I was upset but thought it must be a fluke. However, this second incident suggests a very concerning pattern. I thought I should report this issue as it presents a serious danger to children.

The product, in the report: MAM Mini Air Pacifier 0-6 months (2 count, blue).

My 4 month old baby was using his MAM Mini air pacifier (for ages 0-6 months) like usual when he suddenly started screaming in pain. I quickly noticed the pacifier was lodged sideways in his mouth, locking his jaw in place. We have used MAM pacifiers since he was born and haven’t had an issue until now. What has changed is that he has started grabbing the pacifier in the days leading up to this incident, as he is now developing better hand-eye coordination. While trying to grab his pacifier he managed to move it sideways allowing half of the exterior hard plastic of the pacifier to fit into his mouth and it became lodged sideways between his gums, locking his jaw in the open position. It was even hard for me to remove it from his gums and get it out of his mouth. It took a while to calm him down afterwards. This happened 2 times within a 24 hour period. They are now in the garbage. It was horrifying! I just looked this up online and saw other parents have shared similar stories and I’m wondering why this is still on the market!

My 8 month old was in her basinet, with the MAM 6+ mos paci in her mouth while she was about to nap. I heard a blood curdling screetch and scream that was faint, and came in to find the pacifier wedged sideways between her teeth. She is 8 months old, the pacifier is marketed for 6+ mos. I threw out the newborn to 6 mos ones, for this exact reason. It should not be marketed as safe, she almost choked. I had to wedge her mouth open to get it out, and she was injured from the paci (small lacerations to her mouth).

The product, in the report: MAM binky glow in dark

I was with my 14mo old grandson [REDACTED] today when I noticed his binky MAM (glow in the dark) had substance in nipple. I placed it in my purse as to throw it out when got chance. I showed his parents and they thought maybe there was hole in it.
When I got home I was thinking about incident and remembered that I had the binky in my purse. When I pulled the nipple it detached from mouthpiece.
I do not know if [REDACTED] bit into the binky; all I know is I am very concerned about the incident.

The product, in the report: MAM Glow in the Dark Night Orthodontic Pacifier, Boy, 6+ Months (Rocket Design)

My 10 month old son was using his pacifier in no unusual manner, I pulled it out to feed him a bottle and noticed the nipple was halfway detached from the plastic pacifier. This poses an enormous choking risk, especially given the fact that there are so many other reports of pacifiers falling apart like this. Without a die, an baby or toddler will eventually choke to death due to a pacifier nipple coming apart from the plastic. Thank goodness it was not my son today.

The product, in the report: MAM Pacifier size 6+ months

My son has been used MAM pacifiers since the day he was born. We have never had any issues. About a week ago he got his paci out of his crib...crawled up on the couch beside me and handed me the tip of the paci. He had chewed it off. I contacted MAM and they apologized and have been great to deal with. They sent him a teether and an envelope requesting me to send it back to them so they can test it in the lab (I have already sent it back). We have since weened our son from the pacifier because of the awful safety risk. I just wanted to report this because in my opinion even if a child chews on the pacifier...they should not be able to chew through it.

My 4 month old has been using the mam 0-6 pacifiers exclusively. Today he almost choked on one. Somehow he was able to turn the entire pacifier sideways and fit the whole thing in his mouth. He was traumatized as was I fishing it out as swiftly as possible. Thank goodness I was close by I do not know what could have happened if I wasn’t. This is very dangerous and I will not be using these any longer and will be educating my many friends who use these too. It is a shame as he loves only these pacifiers but his safety comes first. I will now be researching larger pacifiers that cannot be manipulated in this way. I feel an evaluation of this product by mam is necessary. The specific model he was using is the mam air 0-6.

The product in question is a MAM brand pacifier clip. The clip is made of clear, hard, brittle plastic. I tried to attach the clip to my daughter’s shirt and a piece of the fastener broke off. Had I not noticed it my daughter could have picked it up and swallowed it. The broken shard is somewhat small, jagged, and could cause considerable damage if ingested. I have contacted MAM about this and told them I would also contact CPSC as well.
I believe that the MAM pacifier clips are unsafe and should be recalled immediately.

I noticed after taking my son’s pacifier out of his mouth that there was a tear at the base and the nipple was hanging on by just a piece. He could have easily choked had this torn completely apart. Regardless of whether or not he has teeth, these pacifiers were fairly new and the material should not be able to be chewed through that easily by any baby, much less come apart on their own.

Was changing her & heard her gasping ---looked over & the pacifier had lodged into her mouth sideways and was stuck---took some heavy pulling to get it out & as a result, scraped up & bruised her gums. She screamed like she never has before and wasn’t swallowing for a few minutes due to the pain. It was very scary! We are pitching all of her MAM pacifiers for another brand.

My 6 month son was sitting on my lap holding his MAM pacifier as usually and putting it in and out of his mouth when suddenly he started screaming and crying hard. I look down and tried to pull out the pacifier but it was completely stuck sideways. Just like others stated, it was lodged between his gums and I struggled to pull it out without hurting him further. He was fine after I yanked it out but I no longer trust him alone with his pacifier :( always loved his brand for both my kids. Hopefully they revamp it ASAP. I called customer service as suggested, and no answer, only voice mail. I’m waiting for a response.

The product, in the report: Mam air pacifier

My five month old was sitting in front of me holding her Mam pacifier when she started crying. Next she started screaming terribly and I thought something was pinching her. When I picked her up she let go of her pacifier and I saw that it was lodged sideways deeply in her mouth. I could not remove it from her mouth, it was stuck. I called my husband and he eventually was able to remove it from her mouth, but it scraped up the roof of her mouth. She was bleeding from the roof of her mouth. The pacifier was a Mam air pacifier for 0-6 mo. She had just turned 5 months that day so I didn’t think that I needed to buy her a bigger size.

The product, in the report: Mam Trends pacifier

My baby was playing with his pacifier (Mam Trends) -- he often pulls it out, and in the process of trying to put it back into his mouth will turn it around and end up sucking on the little knob on the back. Suddenly he started shrieking. I looked down, and saw that he had managed to wedge the paci into his mouth sideways, with the lip of the knob stuck behind his lower gum, and the edge of the side of the paci wedged behind his upper gum.
I reached down to remove it, but I couldn’t get it out. It was wedged really well. I finally had to yank it out, causing the gums and the roof of his mouth to be scraped.

The product, in the report: Infant MAM start Orthodontic Pacifier

I let my one month old use MAM pacifier while on his bassinet. After he sucks to it, he would sleep and then release the pacifier. It will almost always slip to his either side. Because of MAM’s design flaw of a butterfly shape and it’s sharp, hard edges touches the sides of my son’s ears. When he cried, he would move his head left and right many times before we could pick him up. What MAM did was cut the back of my son’s back ear pulling it away from his head. It was very sad to see that happened and both of his ears got severed, one worst than the other. I discontinued using but the damage has been done. Even-though they have healed, there is still scar and ear apart a little from the head. Horrible product!

The product, in the report: MAM Cooler Teether 4+ months, teether with water-filled cooling part

I purchased the “MAM Cooler Teether 4+ months” on August 19, 2012. The water filled cooling part broke and upon further inspection I noticed that there was black mold growing in between the cooling part and the round plastic design piece. Luckily the product broke so that I could inspect it more in-depth; with the water out of the water filled portion it became more pliable and I was able to separate the pieces. I am very concerned that this could have made my child sick, as the product states it is a teether and therefore ALWAYS in the mouth, directly in contact with the black mold that was growing. I can provide pictures with proof of purchase, if necessary.

The product, in the report: 2+ months pacifier. Butterfly shaped shield with round button-type handle.

My 5 month old got the MAM 2+ months pacifier lodged sideways in her mouth. I heard her screaming on the monitor and she was in her crib, the plastic pacifier shield in her mouth, with mouth stuck open in a lock jaw position. It took a great deal of effort to get the pacifier out... The butterfly shape seems to have made it especially susceptible to getting stuck. She shreiked in pain for about a half hour. The roof of her mouth and gums are bruised. The larger size may work better, but I am probably done with pacifiers anyway. I did not buy the 6+ months pacifier, trusting the manufacturer guidelines. I’m just glad that tears and bruising were the worst of it.
