Skip Hop is recalling about 22,660 Baby Sesame Street Elmo Silicone Teethers sold at Carter's stores nationwide after four consumer reports that the toy's black eyes can come off. The hazard carries one specific condition that most recall notices do not, and it is the detail parents need first.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall notice, posted Sept. 3, 2026, states that the eyes can detach from the teether "if frozen," creating a choking risk for infants. That wording matters for households. Chilling a teether is common advice for sore gums, and many parents put silicone teethers in the freezer as a matter of routine.
