According to the ACCC, Annabel Trends has recalled certain batch/lots of Annabel Trends Silicone Sensory Baby Teether Toys from the Australian marketplace due to suspected failure to comply with requirements of Australia’s mandatory standard ‘Consumer Protection Notice No. 14 of 2003 – Consumer Product Safety Standard: Toys for children up to and including 36 months of age.

Due to this reported defect, small objects could find their way into a young child’s throat and pose choking and/or suffocation hazards and, if placed in the mouth and/or swallowed, pose serious risks of choking, oral injury, internal ingestion, GI tract laceration damage, bowel obstruction and death.

Proposed Remedy:
If you believe you have purchased or have in your possession any of the recalled Annabel Trends Silicone Sensory Baby Teether Toys, please do not use them nor let your children play with or near the Toys. Instead, kindly arrange return of the Rattle Toy and receive a full refund.

In this case, the detached Nodule from the Silicone Teething Ring may pose a choking or suffocation hazard for infants and young children, which can lead to severe injury or death.
