Melii Baby Inc. is issuing a recall of approximately 85,100 Baby Silicone Spoons due to a potential choking hazard. The spoons, which feature animal-shaped handles, can break apart during use, posing a risk to babies.
The affected spoons, sold in packs of three or four, and as part of a five-piece silicone feeding set, are shaped like cats, dogs, dinosaurs, sharks, and unicorns.
The spoons are about six inches in length and carry the following date codes: 2024-01 for the three-pack sets, and 2023-12 to 2024-05 for the four-pack sets. All spoons in the Baby 5-Piece Silicone Feeding Sets are included in the recall.
While Melii Baby has received two reports of the spoon tip breaking, no injuries have been reported. As a precaution, consumers are urged to stop using the recalled spoons immediately and keep them out of reach of children.
