If you’re a parent with a teething child, listen up. Earlier this week, a recall was announced for certain wooden Bebe au Lait infant teethers because they may pose a choking hazard.According to the recall notice, the infant teethers were sold in 12 different shapes. They are being recalled because the “string that connects the beads can come untied, creating a choking hazard for infants.”About 8,000 teethers are affected by the recall. They were sold at various retailers, including Target, and online at Zuilily and BebeauLait.com. They retailed for around $15 and were sold between May 2019 and October 2021. The following types of teethers are included in the recall:

Butterfly and Flower Wooden Bebe Teether

Boat Wooden Bebe Teether

Cactus Wooden Bebe Teether

Dinosaur Wooden Bebe Teether

Heart and Flower Wooden Bebe Teether

Moon and Star Wooden Bebe Teether

Owl Wooden Bebe Teether

Rainbow Wooden Bebe Teether

Starfish Wooden Bebe Teether
