Products Liability Law Daily Wrap Up, CPSC NEWS—BABY PRODUCTS—GOPO Toys recalls 70,000 pull string teething toys over choking hazard, (Jun 18, 2026)

By WK Editorial Staff

The firm has received three reports of choking and respiratory distress incidents.

GOPO Toys has recalled about 70,410 pull string teething toys because the silicone strings can reach the back of a child’s throat and become lodged, posing a risk of respiratory distress and potentially deadly choking. The products violate the mandatory federal standard for toys because the strings are longer and thinner than permitted (CPSC Recall Notice, No. 26-562 (June 18, 2026)).

Incidents and injuries. The firm has received three reports of the toy’s strings reaching the back of a child’s throat, resulting in respiratory distress or choking.

Product description. The recalled product is the GOPO TOYS pull string teething toy, which features an off white disc with a gray ball in the center and six multicolored silicone pull strings that pass through the ball. The disc also includes seven soft push buttons. The brand name and “Pull String Toy” appear on the front of the packaging, with batch numbers 250905, 250530, 250120, 240315, 231005, or 230610 listed on the back.

The toys were manufactured in China and sold online at Amazon.com from August 2023 through March 2026 for between $11 and $15.

Remedy. Consumers are advised to stop using the recalled teething toys immediately, take them away from children, and contact GOPO Toys to obtain a full refund. To receive the refund, consumers must destroy the toy by cutting all silicone strings; write “DESTROYED” on the main body in permanent marker; and email a photo of the destroyed product to [email protected] before disposing of it.
