Recalled baby products still on Nevada shelves, officials warn
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A baby product recalled earlier this year due to a potential choking hazard is still being found on store shelves in Nevada, according to state health officials.
Gerber Products Company issued a recall for all batches of its Soothe N Chew Teething Sticks on Jan. 31 after reports of choking incidents involving babies and young children. Despite the recall, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed this week that some retailers and online sellers are still offering the product for sale.
On Friday, state and local inspectors launched visits to more than 90 grocery and discount stores across Nevada, working to remove the recalled products.
'When inspectors find the product in a store we will ask the operator to remove them from the shelves voluntarily,' Mark Ports, a state environmental health supervisor, said. 'Otherwise, our staff will place a legal hold on the product and remove it from the shelves.'
Parents who have purchased any of the Soothe N Chew® Teething Sticks products are urged not to feed them to their children and can return them to the retailer for a full refund.
