CPSC Recalls 70,000 GOPO Teething Toys After 3 Choking Incidents

Summary
More than 70,000 GOPO TOYS Pull String Teething Toys sold on Amazon were recalled Thursday after three cases in which the strings reached children’s throats, causing choking or respiratory distress.
The CPSC said the silicone strings are smaller and longer than federal toy rules allow, creating a risk that they can lodge in a child’s throat.
Amazon sold the toys from August 2023 through March 2026; they were distributed from San Bernardino, California, and made in China.
GOPO buyers were told to stop using the toy immediately, cut off all silicone strings, mark the product "DESTROYED," email a photo to the company, and seek a full refund.
The recall follows other recent child-product safety actions, including 40,000 baby bottles recalled this month and 6,800 similar Yetonamr teething toys recalled in January.
