A pull-string teether included in Chillife 5-in-1 Montessori Baby Toy Sets has been recalled because its silicone strings do not meet mandatory federal toy-safety requirements and may create a serious choking hazard.
The recall was announced Sept. 18 by Yavapai County in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Shenzhen Xingchuangyi Trading Co., Ltd., which does business as Chillife Official. The products were sold on Amazon.
The CPSC is aware of four choking incidents connected with the product. None of those incidents required medical attention, according to the recall notice. The hazard may cause respiratory distress or death.
What product is affected
The recalled item is the pull-string teether included in the Chillife Montessori toy sets. The full set contains a pull-string teether, circular stacking blocks, a sensory toy, a shape-sorting cube with blocks and a suction-cup spinner.
The affected teether has an off-white, disk-shaped body with a blue ball in its center. Six long silicone pull strings in various colors pass through the ball. The toy also includes three free-spinning rings and soft push buttons on the disk.
The product packaging identifies the model as “CHILLIFE01.” About 20,134 units are included in the recall. The notice lists the recall date as Aug. 27, 2026.
What consumers should do
Consumers should immediately stop giving the recalled teether to children and remove it from their reach. The recall applies specifically to the pull-string teething toy, even though it was sold as part of a larger Montessori toy set.
Chillife Official is offering a partial refund of $5.40. To receive the refund, consumers will be asked to destroy the teether by cutting all of its silicone strings. They should then write “DESTROYED” in permanent marker on the main body of the toy and take a photo of the destroyed item.
The photo should be sent to Chillife Official at Chillifebabytoyrecall@outlook.com. After completing those steps, consumers should dispose of the destroyed product.
When contacting the company, consumers should refer to CPSC recall number 26-727. That number can help identify the recall involved and direct questions about the affected units and refund process.
The recall notice advises anyone who purchased or received the toy in the past to review the instructions and stop using the teether immediately. Because the product was sold online as part of a baby-toy set, households that purchased the set through Amazon may want to check stored toys and packaging for the model information before allowing children to use the teether.
The warning concerns the silicone pull strings and does not state that every component in the set presents the same hazard. The immediate action described in the notice is to remove the pull-string teether from use, complete the destruction and refund steps, and dispose of it.
