Fearing that babies and children might suffocate or suffocate, an emergency alert has been issued for a set of popular teething toys.

The Australian Product Safety Department has recalled The Evolved Parent Co’s The Chew Box silicone teething toys nationwide. These toys are in the shape of animals, fruits and marine life, and each set has six pieces.

The recall warns that these products do not meet the size and shape requirements of mandatory safety standards for children's toys under 36 months.

"The length of the teether may pose a choking or suffocation hazard to young children."

Teething toys are sold in various baby products and gift shops across Australia and are described online as "the perfect size for a baby's hand" and provide hours of sensory stimulation.

From February 2020 to a few weeks ago, the affected products have been stored on store shelves for nearly two years.
