September 15, 2026 — A recent incident report details a Ninni brand pacifier clip detaching, causing small components to fall out. The incident, reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), raises concerns about the potential choking hazards posed by detached small parts, particularly for infants and young children.
Product Details
Incident Overview
On August 19, 2026, a consumer reported that their son’s Ninni pacifier clip came apart. According to the report, “the nails fell out and the clip came off.” The incident involved a “Mist Gray pacifier clip” that was reportedly ordered in May 2026. While the report did not specify any injury, the separation of the clip and the release of small parts like “nails” (likely referring to screws or other fasteners) present a significant safety concern for young children, who are prone to putting small objects in their mouths.
Safety Concerns
The primary safety concern stemming from this incident is the choking hazard posed by small, detached components.
- Immediate Dangers: When a pacifier clip disassembles, small parts such as screws or other fasteners can become loose. These tiny components are perfectly sized to fit into an infant’s airway, leading to a severe and potentially fatal choking incident. Infants and toddlers, who frequently explore objects with their mouths, are at extremely high risk.
- Long-Term Risks: While the immediate risk is choking, repeated exposure to products with loosening components could lead to an ongoing hazard if not addressed.
- Who Might Be Affected: Infants and young children using the pacifier clips are directly affected. Parents and caregivers must be vigilant to prevent access to detached parts.
- Property Damage Potential: There is no indicated property damage potential from this specific incident.
What Consumers Should Do
If you own a Ninni brand pacifier clip, especially models purchased around May 2026 or similar “Mist Gray” clips, it is crucial to take immediate action:
- Immediately Stop Use: Discontinue using any pacifier clip that shows signs of wear, loosening, or damage.
- Inspect Thoroughly: Regularly inspect pacifier clips for any loose screws, seams, or signs of wear and tear. Pay close attention to the attachment points and the integrity of all components. If any part appears loose or compromised, stop using it immediately.
- Securely Dispose: If a product is damaged or compromised, dispose of it safely to prevent children from accessing detached parts.
- Report Incidents: If your pacifier clip comes apart or exhibits similar issues, report the incident immediately to the manufacturer and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at SaferProducts.gov. Your report helps identify patterns and prompt corrective action.
Manufacturer’s Response
Covenant Partners LLC (Ninni Co.) has acknowledged the incident report. Their review of the report regarding the Mist Gray pacifier clip (ordered in May 2026) indicates that “the screw securing the end piece became loose over time.” The manufacturer stated that no injury was reported and noted that they do not have the returned unit for physical inspection, making it difficult to confirm if the loosening reflects normal wear or a product issue solely from the report. They also mentioned they were not contacted directly by the consumer prior to the CPSC’s notice and are currently reviewing their records for any similar reports on this product. Covenant Partners LLC expressed their willingness to assist the consumer directly and provide any additional information the CPSC may require.
