For parents seeking relief for their teething babies, there are plenty of safe options—from teething toys to chilled washcloths. However, one choice is now off the table: Gerber’s edible teething sticks have been recalled and discontinued.
In partnership with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Gerber has issued a nationwide recall of its Soothe N Chew Teething Sticks due to choking hazards. The recall follows multiple reports of infants choking on the product, with at least one case requiring emergency medical attention.
