OTTAWA — Thousands of babies in Canada could be chomping on liquid-filled teethers contaminated with a bacteria that can cause severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhea if the product is punctured and the liquid is ingested, Health Canada announced Monday.
The voluntary recall of 82,000 Fun Ice Chewy Teether by Munchkin Inc., comes after Health Canada tests found one lot was contaminated with the bacteria Bacillus cereus.
Munchkin decided to recall all the lots sold in Canada, Health Canada said. The teether is available in hand, foot or animal shapes.
This is the ninth recall involving contaminated liquid-filled teethers in the last two months.
Health Canada discovered the widespread problem through routine product testing. Since June, a total of about 140,000 liquid-filled teethers have been recalled across the country.
The department is warning parents to take the teethers away from their children immediately because Health Canada requires that infant teether fillings not contain any living micro-organisms.
