Although the Fun Ice Chewy Teether does not pose any hazards if it is not punctured, evaluation of the product has revealed that the gel filling of the teether may be contaminated with the bacteria Bacillus cereus. This bacteria can cause severe nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea if the teether is punctured and the filling from the teether is ingested. No injuries have been reported to date. Munchkin is recalling the product to prevent the possibility of injury.
