A nationwide recall has been issued for all Gerber® Soothe N Chew® Teething Sticks due to potential choking hazards for babies and young children. While the products were listed on Family Fare’s website in Blair, the store typically maintains strong recall compliance procedures.
The recall affects all varieties and sizes of Gerber® Soothe N Chew® Teething Sticks, including both Strawberry Apple and Banana flavors. The company initiated this recall after receiving reports of choking incidents, including one that required emergency room treatment.
Local parents and caregivers who may have purchased these products should:
- Stop using them immediately
- Keep them out of children’s reach
- Return the products to their place of purchase for a full refund
- Contact their healthcare provider if they have concerns about their child’s exposure to the product
If residents spot these recalled products on any local store shelves, they should immediately notify the store manager. Consumers can also contact Gerber’s 24/7 customer service line at 1-800-443-7237 with questions or concerns.
The affected products include:
- Gerber® Soothe N Chew® Teething Sticks – Strawberry Apple (3.2 oz)
- Gerber® Soothe N Chew® Teething Sticks – Banana (3.2 oz and 1.59 oz)
This recall is particularly significant as Gerber has chosen to completely discontinue these products rather than just recall specific batches, indicating a fundamental safety concern with the product design.
Local parents seeking alternative teething solutions should consult with their pediatrician or family healthcare provider for safe recommendations.
