The silicone pull strings on these toys are smaller than allowed under the mandatory toy safety standard. The strings can reach the back of a child’s throat and become lodged creating a risk of respiratory distress, serious choking, and death. The recall involves AiTuiTui Pull String Teething Toys, model 688-59.


About 49,410 teething toys were sold online at Amazon.com from August 2022 through September 2025.


Stop allowing your children to use these recalled teething toys and contact Vanfun by email at [email protected] to obtain a full refund. To obtain the refund, you must cut and discard all silicone string tentacles, write the word “DESTROYED” on the off-white main body of the toy using a permanent marker, and email a photograph of the destroyed product to the company at the email I just mentioned.
