Customer Reviews of Razbaby Raz-Berry silicone Teethers Double Pack Both Colors in One Package.
Customer Review: SERIOUS CHOKING HAZARD!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
This teether is NOT SAFE and DOES pose a serious choking hazard. The "mouth shield" is very flexible and allows an infant or small child to turn the teether sideways and get the entire thing into their mouth, as it happened with my 5-1/2 month old son recently. Fortunately, I was in the room when my baby got the entire teether stuck sideways in his mouth and began to choke, all within two minutes of his first time using the teether. The mouth shield and ring both need to be made of hard, inflexible material, the same as a pacifier, to avoid this choking risk.
I recently contacted Razbaby.com and was told the following:
"We are very sorry to hear of your incident. The RaZberry teether has been
in the market since 2004 and we have never had this issue.
The RaZberry teether has been tested extensively for all the safety
standards for pacifiers. One of the many test that is performed is on the
shield (mouth guard) to make sure it does not present a choking hazard. It
has passed all the standards in the USA, Europe, Canada and Australia."
Nevertheless, the instructions on the back of the package clearly state "This product is not a pacifier or a toy." It also states "Do not tie the teether around baby's neck as it presents a strangulation danger." Really? Before or after they've choked on the teether itself?
I have researched this issue online and found that other many parents have complained of the same choking problem. Absolutely nowhere on the package does it even state the possibility of any risk of choking. Maybe pacifier testing standards are less stringent than toy standards (as most pacifiers are "built" the same.) Seems like every toy on the market has a statement of "may pose a choking risk" somewhere on the packaging, even puzzles and stuffed animals.
If you're going to buy this item from Amazon or anywhere else, be careful and watch your baby at ALL TIMES, but I wouldn't take the chance. It only takes one time.
Customer Review: Too Big for Baby's Mouth
Summary: 1 Stars
My daughter will not go anywhere near this "teether" - it's WAY too big for her mouth...if you compare the size of it to a normal pacifier, it's HUGE...I didn't think to do that as I was purchasing it. She's intrigued by the colors of it, but all she does is hold it in her hand and then eventually she throws it - it's not worth paying for this.Customer Review: not a pacifier
Summary: 1 Stars
I loved the idea, but my daughter hated it. I bought it for my first born also and he hated it as well. I thought it might have been him, but my daughter didn't like it either. It's good to chew on.Customer Review: Rubber on handle broke
Summary: 1 Stars
My 8 month old chewed right through the handle the first time I gave it to her. It is a TEETHER, and should have been able to stand up to being chewed on. Its a choking hazard if you ask me!
