Silicone utensils sold at major retailers and online have been reported to break during use, posing a choking risk to infants
Melii Baby, a Canada-based baby products company, has recalled over 85,000 silicone spoons due to breakage risks that could pose a choking hazard to infants. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on December 21, following two reports of the spoons breaking during use.
The spoons, featuring colorful animal-themed designs such as cats, dinosaurs, and unicorns, were sold between April and August 2024 at Aldi, Ross, and online retailers such as Amazon and buybuyBaby.com. The recalled products include three-packs with the date code 2024-01, four-packs with date codes ranging from 2023-12 to 2024-05, and all spoons included in the five-piece feeding sets. The date codes are printed on the back of the utensils.
The CPSC stated that the silicone material in the spoons can crack or break apart during use, creating small fragments that may pose a choking risk. While no injuries have been reported, consumers are urged to stop using the spoons immediately and dispose of them. Melii Baby is offering free replacements.
In a statement shared by the CPSC, Melii Baby emphasized its commitment to child safety, stating it is cooperating fully with the recall. “The safety of our products is our top priority, and we are working diligently to ensure that this situation is rectified,” the company said.
The spoons were manufactured in China and sold for $8-9. The CPSC has encouraged consumers to report any incidents related to the product and to adhere to the recall instructions.
The CPSC has also urged consumers to report any incidents involving the recalled spoons or other hazardous products.
