Fashion retailer Primark on Thursday initiated a recall for a pair of wooden button soother clips amid concerns of potential choking and laceration hazards.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall notice on Thursday regarding the product. The agency deals with recalls, which can cost the United States over $1 trillion annually due to consumer product-related issues.
Which Products Were Recalled From Primark?
The 2-Pack Soother Clip (Baby Bear) and 2-Pack Soother Clip (Balloon) have cloth straps and wooden buttons to clip onto a child's clothing, designed to hold a pacifier. The product code, 991139699, is printed on the price tag on the back of the product packaging, Primark advised.

The recall also listed identification for the Baby Bear soother as Kimball no. 69489 and the Balloon soother as Kimball no. 80010. The product was manufactured in China.
In a statement released on Thursday, the retailer said it had learned the product "does not meet our usual high safety standards."

"The wooden button on the soother clips can come off, exposing a sharp screw, which can pose choking and laceration hazards. Consumers should stop using the above product and return to any Primark store for a full refund," the recall said.
Around 1,330 units will be affected by this recall, all of which were sold at Primark stores in the Northeast, Florida, Maryland and Illinois from June 2025 through August 2025. The product retailed for $5.
Primark reported five cases in which the wooden buttons detached, including one where the screw was found inside an infant's mouth and another of a cut along a child's arm.
Primark's customer service can be reached at 617-946-3236 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at the Primark "recall" webpage.
When Was the Recall Issued?
The recall was issued Thursday, with no clear end-date for the recall period.
Primark has also issued recalls for a water balloon pump and a DTR Plush Back Stitch and DTR Plush Bag Angel as well as DTR Scented Highlighters.
