Pull and Chew Montessori Teething Toys Recalled Over Choking Risk

Washington, D.C. - Pull and Chew Montessori teething toys sold through SHEIN are being recalled because their silicone strings can pose a deadly choking hazard, according to a notice announced Sept. 17, 2026.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the toys do not comply with the mandatory federal safety standard for toys. The silicone strings are smaller and longer than allowed, meaning they can reach the back of a child’s throat and become lodged.

The defect creates a risk of respiratory distress, serious injury or death from choking. Parents, caregivers and other consumers who purchased the toys should immediately take them away from children and stop using them.

The recall applies to Pull and Chew Montessori teething toys distributed by SHEIN Distribution Corporation. The notice did not provide details about the number of products involved, specific purchase dates, identifying lot information or the locations where the toys were sold.

Consumers should contact the manufacturer to request a refund or replacement. Customers should also avoid giving the toys to another person or placing them in resale or donation channels because of the potential safety risk.

The CPSC advises consumers to report injuries or incidents involving recalled products through its online reporting system. Additional information about the recall, including any contact instructions provided by the company, is available in the official notice at https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2026/SHEIN-Distribution-Corporation-Recalls-Pull-and-Chew-Montessori-Teething-Toys-Due-to-Risk-of-Serious-Injury-or-Death-from-Choking-Hazard-Violate-Mandatory-Standard-for-Toys
