What Is the Little Rawr Pull String Teething Toy?

The recalled product is the Little Rawr Silicone Pull String Teething Toy. It consists of a blue disc-shaped body with a blue ball in the center and five multicolored silicone pull strings that pass through the ball.

The disc also has eight soft push buttons. CPSC describes the toy as approximately 5.7 inches wide, 5.7 inches tall, and 7.8 inches long.

The toys were packaged individually in white boxes displaying the “little rawr” logo on the front. The back of the packaging identifies model number C-MBE-024 and includes identification number X004Q55E07 below the barcode.

There is no identifying information printed directly on the toy. Families who no longer have the packaging may need Amazon order records, photographs, emails, or payment records to confirm the product.

Which Little Rawr Teething Toys Were Recalled?

The recall applies to Little Rawr Silicone Pull String Teething Toys matching the product and packaging description in the CPSC notice. Approximately 2,180 units are included.

The toys were sold exclusively online through Amazon.com from September 2025 through April 2026 for between $11 and $15. Shenzhen Okabesini Technology Co., Ltd., doing business as Okabesini-us, was identified as the retailer.

The toys were manufactured in China. Consumers should compare the packaging, model number, identification number, color pattern, and Amazon order history with the recall notice before completing the refund process.

Why Were the Little Rawr Teething Toys Recalled?

The toys violate the mandatory safety standard for toys because the silicone pull strings are smaller and longer than permitted. Their dimensions allow the strings to extend far enough into a child’s mouth to reach the back of the throat.

A string can become lodged and interfere with breathing, creating respiratory distress or a choking emergency. This is especially concerning because teething toys are specifically designed to be handled and placed in the mouth by young children.

CPSC explains that children’s toys are subject to the federal toy safety standard under 16 C.F.R. Part 1250, which incorporates applicable provisions of ASTM F963 [2]

The recall is therefore based on a violation of a mandatory product-safety requirement, not merely a precautionary change in design.

What Incident Was Reported?

The firm received one report involving the recalled toy. According to CPSC, the silicone strings reached the back of a child’s throat and resulted in respiratory distress or choking.

CPSC did not report a death in the recall notice. The agency nevertheless describes the defect as presenting a risk of serious injury or death because a string can become lodged in the throat and interfere with breathing.

A child who experiences choking or respiratory distress may require immediate intervention and emergency medical care. The seriousness of an individual event depends on how long breathing was impaired and whether additional complications occurred.

How Can the Choking Hazard Occur?

In general, pull-string teething toys are intended to encourage children to grasp, pull, manipulate, and mouth flexible silicone components. In the recalled Little Rawr toy, the dimensions of those components allow a string to extend too far into the mouth.

If the child continues pushing or pulling the string while chewing or sucking on it, the silicone portion may reach the back of the throat. The string can then become lodged and interfere with normal breathing.

CPSC’s choking-hazard guidance explains that federal requirements are designed to protect young children from objects capable of entering the throat and creating choking, aspiration, or ingestion hazards [3]

The Little Rawr recall involves the toy standard’s requirements for the silicone strings rather than a finding that the entire toy is a prohibited small part.

What Should Parents and Caregivers Do?

Parents and caregivers should immediately stop using the recalled toy and remove it from any area accessible to children. The toy should not be given away, resold, or returned to a child after the strings are altered.

Okabesini-us is offering a full refund. Consumers are instructed to cut all of the silicone strings and write “RECALLED” in permanent marker on the main body.

A photograph of the destroyed toy should be sent to the recall email address along with the Amazon order number when available. The destroyed product should then be disposed of.

Families whose child experienced choking or respiratory distress should consider documenting the toy and incident before destroying it. Photographs of the product, packaging, strings, identifying information, and any damage or alterations may be important evidence.

Who May Be Affected?

Families may be affected if they purchased the recalled Little Rawr toy from Amazon during the identified sales period. Recall eligibility does not require that a child experienced choking or another injury.

A potential legal claim is different from eligibility for the refund. An individual claim generally requires evidence that the product caused an injury, medical expense, or another compensable loss.

The purchaser does not necessarily need to be the child’s parent. A toy may have been purchased by a grandparent, relative, caregiver, or another person and given as a gift.

Who May Be Liable?

Depending on the evidence and applicable law, potentially responsible parties may include a manufacturer, importer, retailer, distributor, online seller, or another company in the product’s supply chain.

Potential legal theories may include defective design, manufacturing defect, failure to comply with mandatory safety standards, inadequate warnings, negligence, or breach of warranty. Available claims depend on the circumstances and governing state law.

The recall is significant evidence concerning the product’s regulatory status, but it does not automatically establish every element of an individual lawsuit. Product identification, exposure, causation, injury, damages, and potential defenses must still be evaluated.

Do I Qualify?

  • Did your child use a recalled Little Rawr Silicone Pull String Teething Toy?
  • Did a silicone string reach the child’s throat or cause choking, gagging, or respiratory distress?
  • Did the child require emergency care, medical evaluation, hospitalization, or follow-up treatment?
  • Do you have the toy, packaging, Amazon records, photographs, or medical documentation?

An individualized legal review can determine whether the recalled product, incident evidence, medical records, damages, potential defendants, and applicable filing deadlines support a claim.

What Evidence Should Families Preserve?

Photograph the complete toy, all five silicone strings, the push-button disc, packaging, model number, identification number, and “little rawr” branding before completing the destruction process.

Preserve Amazon order confirmations, payment records, delivery emails, product-page screenshots, recall communications, refund submissions, and photographs sent to Okabesini-us.

Medical evidence may include emergency-room records, ambulance records, pediatric evaluations, hospital records, bills, discharge instructions, and follow-up notes. Write down the incident sequence and obtain contact information from anyone who witnessed it.
