CONSUMER SAFETY ALERT
The silver ball that holds the ring in place can separate and release the beads inside. This poses a choking and aspiration hazard to infants.
Teething Rings Recalled by Empire Silver Due to Choking Hazard
The recalled sterling silver teething rings were sold in three styles: single ring with ball, single ring with heart and ball, and three rings with ball. The hollow ring has small beads inside that make a rattling sound and a ball soldered between the rings.
Required Consumer Action
Consumers should immediately take the teething rings from infants and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund or replacement.
