Latest LiKee Pull-String Teething Toy Recall and Lawsuit Developments

June 2026

June 11, 2026 – CPSC announced the recall of about 24,400 LiKee Pull-String Teething Toys after the firm received 10 reports that the silicone strings reached the back of a child’s throat, resulting in choking or respiratory distress. The agency warned that the strings are smaller and longer than permitted under the mandatory federal toy standard and can become lodged in a child’s throat [1]

What Is the LiKee Pull-String Teething Toy?

The recalled product is the LiKee Pull-String Teething Toy. It is a baby sensory toy with an off-white disc, a blue center ball, and six multicolored silicone pull strings that run through the ball.

The brand name “LiKee” and the words “Baby Sensory Toy” are printed on the front of the packaging. The model number LK-FDWJ is printed on the back of the packaging.

The toys were sold on Amazon.com from November 2024 through December 2025 for about $8. ChilanTech, of China, imported the recalled products.

Consumers should compare the toy, packaging, model number, Amazon order history, photos, and purchase records against the recall notice. The recall applies to the LiKee pull-string model identified in the CPSC notice, not every teething toy or sensory toy sold online.

Why Were LiKee Pull-String Teething Toys Recalled?

The toys were recalled because the silicone strings are smaller and longer than allowed under the mandatory federal toy standard. CPSC says the strings can become lodged in a child’s throat.

Because this product was marketed for babies and young children, foreseeable use includes mouthing, chewing, pulling, and placing parts of the toy near the mouth. That makes the string size and length especially important for child safety.

The recall instructs consumers to stop using the toy immediately and take it away from children. ChilanTech is offering a free replacement toy of at least equal value, including shipping.

Reported Risks or Injuries

The reported risk is choking or respiratory distress when a silicone string reaches the back of a child’s throat or becomes lodged. ChilanTech received 10 reports involving that hazard.

The recall notice does not report deaths or provide details about hospitalization. A severe choking event can potentially cause oxygen deprivation or require emergency treatment, but those outcomes should be documented individually rather than assumed from the recall alone.

Parents and caregivers should seek medical attention if a child experiences choking, gagging, difficulty breathing, bluish skin color, loss of consciousness, unusual sleepiness, persistent coughing, or other concerning symptoms after using the recalled toy.

Useful records may include emergency-room records, pediatrician notes, ambulance records, photographs, incident descriptions, witness statements, Amazon order history, and packaging or model-number photos.

How Does the Problem Occur, and Who May Be Liable?

The problem may occur when a child pulls or mouths one of the silicone strings and the string reaches the back of the throat. CPSC says the string can become lodged, creating a risk of serious injury or death from choking.

A legal investigation may examine product design, string length, string diameter, age grading, packaging, warnings, testing records, import records, Amazon listing materials, consumer complaints, recall timing, and communications between sellers, importers, and regulators. These records may help determine whether the product design, testing, warnings, sale practices, or recall response were adequate.

Potentially responsible parties may include ChilanTech, manufacturers, importers, sellers, distributors, online marketplaces, fulfillment entities, or other companies involved in designing, manufacturing, importing, selling, distributing, or warning about the recalled toy. Liability depends on product identity, incident facts, injury evidence, damages, available defendants, and applicable state law.

A recall does not automatically prove that any company is legally responsible for a specific injury. An individual review may focus on whether the toy was recalled, whether a silicone string reached the child’s throat, what symptoms or treatment occurred, and what evidence connects the toy to the child’s injuries.

Evidence to Preserve

Before completing the recall remedy, consumers may want to photograph the toy, packaging, model number, Amazon order history, and visible string configuration. They should then follow CPSC and ChilanTech’s destruction and disposal instructions.

Helpful evidence may include the toy, packaging, model-number photos, Amazon receipts, order confirmations, incident photos, videos, medical records, discharge paperwork, pediatrician notes, and witness information.

If the toy has already been destroyed or discarded, purchase records and medical documentation may still help establish exposure and injury timing. Parents should also document the date, location, symptoms, and any medical treatment connected to the incident.

Who May Be Affected?

Families may be affected if a child used a recalled LiKee Pull-String Teething Toy. Parents, grandparents, caregivers, daycare providers, or relatives may have purchased the toy through Amazon or received it as a gift.

Children who experienced choking, gagging, respiratory distress, emergency treatment, or follow-up medical care may need an individualized review. The strength of any claim depends on product identification, incident details, medical documentation, and applicable filing deadlines.

Consumers who still have the recalled toy should stop using it immediately and take it away from children. They should contact ChilanTech for the free replacement remedy described in the recall notice.

Legal Process Overview

Step 1: Free case review. The review begins with the recalled toy, purchase date, seller, model number, incident description, symptoms, medical treatment, and available evidence. Photos, Amazon records, packaging, medical records, and witness information may help establish the basic facts.

Filing occurs only when the evidence and applicable law support a claim against one or more responsible parties.
