Product Details
Product: Little Rawr Silicone Baby Sensory Montessori Toys C-MBA-067

Incident Overview
On January 28, 2026, a four-month-old infant was playing with a Little Rawr Montessori pull string teething toy, using it as designed by teething on its flexible strings. While under close parental supervision, one of the strings became lodged in the back of the baby’s throat, causing the infant to gag and vomit. The parent had to manually pull the string out, describing the event as terrifying. The parent noted that the string would have been stuck if not pulled out. The infant loved the toy and continued to play with it under close supervision, but after a second choking episode, the toy was taken away by the parent. The incident report also noted that a similar product had recently been subject to a recall.
Safety Concerns
This incident reveals significant safety concerns inherent in the design of the Little Rawr Silicone Baby Sensory Montessori Toys:
- Immediate Dangers: The primary and most immediate danger is choking, which can lead to airway obstruction. For an infant, an obstructed airway is a life-threatening emergency that can rapidly result in loss of consciousness, brain damage due to lack of oxygen, or even death if not promptly resolved. The flexible strings, when manipulated or pulled into the mouth, can easily reach the back of an infant’s throat, triggering the gag reflex or becoming lodged.
- Long-Term Risks: Beyond the immediate choking risk, severe choking incidents can lead to aspiration (inhaling food, stomach acid, or foreign objects into the lungs), which can cause respiratory distress or pneumonia. The traumatic experience of choking can also cause distress and fear for both the infant and the caregivers.
- Who Might Be Affected: Infants and young toddlers, especially those in the oral exploration and teething stages (typically 0-12 months), are most at risk. Their developing motor skills and strong instinct to put objects in their mouths make them particularly vulnerable to hazards like small parts or flexible strings that can obstruct their airways.
- Property Damage Potential: There is no known property damage potential associated with this specific type of incident.
What Consumers Should Do
Given the reported choking incident, consumers who own the Little Rawr Silicone Baby Sensory Montessori Toys C-MBA-067, or similar pull-string teething toys from Shenzhen Aojieni Silicone Technology Co., Ltd., should take immediate action:

- Prevention Measures: Always supervise infants closely during play, especially when they are interacting with toys designed for oral exploration. Regularly inspect all toys for any signs of wear and tear, loose parts, or potential hazards like strings or cords that could become detached or lead to entanglement/choking. Prioritize toys that are age-appropriate and free from small parts or features that could pose choking risks.
