A silicone teething toy shaped like an off-white disc, with a colored ball in the middle and six long string "tentacles" running through it, has been recalled repeatedly this year under different brand names sold by different companies on Amazon.
The recalls describe the same product. Several of the notices list the same product code, model 688-59, printed on the packaging.
For a parent, that detail is the useful one. Checking whether your toy matches a brand name will not reliably tell you anything. Checking whether it matches the design will.
What the Defect Is
Every one of these recalls cites the same violation of the federal mandatory standard for toys: the silicone strings are smaller than permitted. In at least one recall, the notice says the strings are both smaller and longer than allowed.
The hazard language is identical across the notices. The strings "can reach the back of the throat and become lodged," according to CPSC, posing a risk of respiratory distress, serious choking, and death.
This is not a case of a toy being unsafe in unusual circumstances. It is a dimensional failure against a standard that exists specifically because small parts and long, flexible strands are known choking hazards for infants.
The Recalls on the Record
Two of the recalls include disclosed incident counts, and both are substantial.
Yetonamr Pull String Teething Toys, sold on Amazon by Longyanguiheng, were recalled January 22, 2026. About 6,800 units were sold from June through October 2025 for $10 to $16. CPSC said it was aware of 32 choking incidents.
AiTuiTui Pull String Teething Toys, sold on Amazon by Vanfun, were recalled January 29, 2026, under recall number 26-219. About 49,410 units were sold from August 2022 through September 2025 for about $10. CPSC said it was aware of 15 choking incidents and two incidents in which children bit pieces off the silicone strings.
Both notices describe the same object: an off-white disc, a red or blue ball in the center, six string tentacles of various colors, three free-spinning rings, and soft push buttons—both list model 688-59 on the packaging.
Three additional brands have been recalled for the same defect. Sili Factory pull-string teething toys, from Shenzhen Aojieni Silicone Technology, were sold on Amazon from May 2025 through April 2026 for $11 to $15. CuddleCubs Creations highchair teething toy sets, sold on Amazon by YouRfocus, were sold from December 2024 through April 2026 for $15 to $19; the recalled sets contain a pull-string teething toy whose strings CPSC says are smaller and longer than permitted. GOPO Toys pull-string teething toys were also recalled for the same violation.
Across the two recalls that disclose both figures, roughly 56,000 units and 47 choking incidents are on the record. The true totals across all the recalls are higher, and CPSC has not disclosed incident counts for every one.
Every one of these was sold on Amazon. Every one was manufactured in China. The sellers are different companies.
Why the Same Product Keeps Coming Back
Nothing in the public record establishes that these are the same manufacturer operating under different names, and this article does not claim that. What the record does show is a design and a product code circulating among multiple sellers, each recalled separately, with overlapping sale periods and, in some cases, continuing after earlier recalls of the identical design.
The AiTuiTui listing ran from August 2022 to September 2025. The Sili Factory and CuddleCubs listings ran into April 2026, months after the January recalls of the same design.
That is the pattern worth understanding as a shopper. A recall attaches to a brand and a seller. It does not remove a design from the marketplace. If a different company lists the same product under a different name, the recall of the first does not automatically reach the second.
What Parents Should Do
Look at the toy, not the box. If you have a silicone teething toy that is a disc with a ball in the middle and long, thin strings pulled through it, stop using it and take it away from your child, regardless of the brand name or whether that brand appears on a recall list.
Check the packaging for model 688-59 if you still have it.
Follow the specific remedy in the recall notice for your brand. Most of these require you to cut and discard the string tentacles, write "DESTROYED" on the toy's main body with a permanent marker, photograph it, and email the photo to the seller for a refund. Do not simply throw the toy away if you want the refund, and do not donate or resell it.
Search the CPSC recall database by product type rather than brand. Searching "teething toy" surfaces this cluster; searching a brand name you no longer remember will not.
Choking risk is highest in infants and toddlers who cannot clear an obstruction themselves. If a child is coughing forcefully, let them cough. If a child cannot cough, cry, or breathe, call 911 and begin choking first aid appropriate to their age. Parents of infants may want to confirm they know the current infant choking response, which differs from the technique used for older children and adults.
At least five brands of the same pull-string teething toy design have been recalled in 2026 for the same standard violation. The children most at risk are infants and toddlers using the toy unsupervised. The most reasonable action is to remove any toy that matches the design, regardless of brand. The central uncertainty is how many identical listings remain active under names not yet recalled.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have one of these toys? Look for an off-white silicone disc with a red or blue ball in the center, six long string "tentacles" of various colors, three free-spinning rings, and soft push buttons. Many packages list model 688-59.
Which brands have been recalled? Verified recalls include Yetonamr, AiTuiTui, Sili Factory, CuddleCubs Creations, and GOPO Toys. All were sold on Amazon.
What is wrong with them? The silicone strings are smaller than the federal mandatory toy standard permits, and in some cases longer. CPSC says the strings can reach the back of the throat and become lodged.
Have children been hurt? CPSC disclosed 32 choking incidents for the Yetonamr recall and 15 choking incidents plus two incidents of children biting off pieces for the AiTuiTui recall. Not every recall discloses a count.
What if my brand is not on a recall list? Stop using it anyway if it matches the design. A recall covers a specific brand and seller, not every listing of the same product.
How do I get a refund? Follow your recall notice. Most require cutting off the string tentacles, writing "DESTROYED" on the toy's body with a permanent marker, photographing it, and emailing the photo to the seller.
Where can I check for recalls? Search the CPSC recall database by product type, such as "teething toy," rather than by brand name.
