orywireGOPO TOYS pull string teething toys sold on Amazon are recalled because the silicone strings can lodge in a child’s throat. CPSC says consumers should stop using the toy, check the batch number and contact GOPO Toys for a refund.
GOPO TOYS pull string teething toys sold on Amazon are being recalled because their silicone strings can reach the back of a child’s throat and become lodged, creating a serious choking hazard. Parents and caregivers should take the toy away from children immediately and follow GOPO Toys’ refund instructions, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The recall covers about 70,410 GOPO TOYS Pull String Teething Toys. The CPSC recall notice was dated June 18, 2026, and lists the remedy as a refund.
The toys were sold online through Amazon from August 2023 through March 2026 for about $11 to $15.
The recalled toy is an off-white disc with a gray ball in the center. Six multicolored silicone pull strings run through the ball, and the disc has seven soft push buttons.
Do not rely only on the toy’s general appearance. The affected batch number is printed on the back of the product packaging, while the brand name and product name are printed on the front, the CPSC said.
Families who no longer have the packaging can check Amazon order history, receipts or product photos and contact GOPO Toys if they need help confirming whether a toy is included. The CPSC lists GOPO Toys’ consumer contact as 800-445-2344 and recalls@gopotoys.com.
The recall notice says the silicone strings are smaller and longer than permitted under the mandatory toy standard. Because of that design, the strings can reach the back of a child’s throat and become lodged.
GOPO Toys is aware of three reports of the toy’s strings reaching the back of a child’s throat, resulting in respiratory distress or choking, according to the CPSC. The notice describes the hazard as a risk of serious injury or death from choking.
Consumers should stop using the teething toy immediately and take it away from children.
To receive a full refund, the CPSC says consumers will be asked to destroy the toy by cutting all silicone strings and writing “DESTROYED” in permanent marker on the main body of the toy. Consumers should then send a photo of the destroyed toy to recalls@gopotoys.com and dispose of the destroyed product.
Consumers can also use the GOPO Toys recall and refund page listed by the CPSC for more information. The recall notice does not list a repair or replacement option.
The recall applies to the affected products even if no choking incident occurred. Owners should not give the toy back to a child while checking the batch number or waiting for a refund response.
Beekeeper’s Naturals is recalling lot 5950 of its Saline Nasal Spray sold through Amazon after testing found microbial contamination concerns. Consumers should check the lot number, stop using affected bottles and contact the company for a refund.
The incident section of the CPSC notice lists three reports involving the toy’s strings reaching the back of a child’s throat. The notice did not list additional affected retailers beyond Amazon.
The recall number is 26-562. Consumers should use that number, the product name and the batch number when contacting GOPO Toys or checking the CPSC recall notice.
If the CPSC or GOPO Toys updates the recall with more batch numbers, changed refund instructions or additional incident information, consumers should follow the newer official notice.
About 2,200 BABESIDE Doll and Stroller Toys sold on Amazon are recalled because the toy pacifier and plush bear can pose choking hazards, the CPSC says. Consumers should take those accessories away from children and contact HYBDOLLS for free replacements.
Joolz and CPSC recalled Aer2 car seat adapter sets because they can fail to attach to the stroller and allow a car seat to fall. Owners should stop using adapters with an NL311 product identifier and register to return the set for a full refund.
