Nûby IcyBite™ Keys Teethers (item number 530455, UPC 067988 53045 5) with embossed lot number ED04Z on the back of the packaging and on the toy ring are affected.

The hazard

These bacteria are usually harmless, but may cause an infection in children if the teether is punctured and the liquid filling is ingested.
