Luv n' Care recalled all current Nuby liquid-filled teethers in the U.S. this week due to the discovery of potentially harmful bacteria in some Nuby teethers. (You can read the recall notice here.) Images of these teethers were not provided in the recall notice, which were instead identified solely by their UPC code - a relevant means for stores to identify unsold items which could be returned to the company for irradiation and redistribution, but not for consumers who have items in use in their home.

When we contacted Nuby yesterday to ask them how consumers could identify the recalled products, we were told they could match the UPC codes to item numbers on the Nuby website.

As it turned out, these item numbers were not published in product descriptions or in any other place on the Nuby website, but were shown in the URLs (web page addresses) of the pages featuring individual items. No mention is made of this method of identifying the recalled products, and no information about the recall is available on the Nuby website.

We have used the tagging method we discovered in Nuby's URLs to collect images of most of the recalled products, and are presenting them here to help consumers identify products included in the recall. We are also hoping to identify those not currently listed on the Nuby website, for which we have no identifying images.

If you have any of the teethers shown in the image slideshow below, ZRecs advises you to remove them from use and return them to the retailer who sold them to you or to Nuby. In either case, you should expect a full refund for products included in this FDA-announced recall. If you can help us identify any of the teethers noted here only by their UPC code, please comment on the photo in our Flickr set or email us at zrecseditors (at) gmail (dot) com.

Specifically recalled teethers

Other Nuby liquid-filled teethers

You may have a Nuby liquid-filled teether that is not shown above. We found the following liquid-filled teethers on the Nuby website that appear to have UPC codes that do not match any included in the recall, according to the guidance we were provided from Nuby. Since the recall notice states that "all Nuby Gel Filled Teethers" were being recalled, we would advise consumers who have even these liquid-filled teethers to stop using them and attempt to return them to a retailer or the company for a refund, citing the title of the recall notice as evidence of their claim.
