How car recalls get reported

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) officially start car recalls after receiving complaints from consumers.

The Brief

    • The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled the AiTuiTui Pull String Teething Toy after finding its silicone strings are too small and can lodge in a child’s throat, posing choking, injury, or death risks.
    • CPSC reports 15 choking incidents and two cases where children bit pieces off the strings; the toy was sold on Amazon from August 2022 to September 2025 for about $10.
    • Consumers are urged to stop using the toy immediately and contact the distributor for a refund after destroying the product as instructed under recall No. 26-219.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall involving a children’s teething toy due to the risk of serious injury or death from choking.

AiTuiTui teething toy recalled

Big picture view:

According to the notice issued last week, the AitTuiTui Pull String Teething Toy violates the mandatory standard for toys because the silicone strings are smaller than permitted. 

The silicone strings can reach the back of the throat and become lodged, posing a risk of respiratory distress, serious choking hazard, and death.

CPSC said it is aware of 15 choking incidents and two incidents of children being able to bite pieces off the silicone strings. More than 49,400 units were recalled.

The toys were sold on Amazon from August 2022 to September 2025 for about $10.

The teething toy is an off-white disc shape with either a red ball or blue ball in the middle and six long pull string "tentacles" of various colors running through the ball. 

There are also three free-spinning rings on one side and soft push buttons on the disc. 

The recall number is 26-219, and "Model: 688-59" is printed on the product packaging.

Consumers should stop using teething toy immediately 

What you can do:

CPSC said that consumers should stop using the teething toy immediately and contact Vanfun for a full refund.

Consumers should cut and discard all string tentacles, write "DESTROYED" on the off-white main body of the toy using a permanent marker, and email a photograph of the destroyed product to recallmls@outlook.com.
