Mushie & Co. has recalled its FRIGG Silicone Pacifiers because of over 200 reports—including outside the US—of the nipple detaching from its base, posing a choking hazard. FRIGG silicone pacifiers came in two designs: Classic and Daisy, and the recall applies to around 333,725 pacifiers in every color.

So check your diaper bags and car consoles and anywhere else you might have a paci hanging out, because this is no bueno. If you find a FRIGG Silicone Pacifier, stop using it (obviously), then cut the nipple from the base of the pacifier and send a photo of both the detached silicone nipple and the base to Mushie & Co for a refund.

Then toss it. And leave it. And don’t go back to retrieve it.
