Health Canada is advising parents about a recall of a toothbrush for babies that was sold through a popular discount retail store chain.
The agency says the Oracare Baby Brush toothbrush sold at Dollarama stores across Canada may pose a choking hazard due to a manufacturing defect, which can cause the handle of the silicone brush to break into two pieces.
The item in question has a lot/serial number of JSM7821 and JSM8856, and a model number 3121361.
“Dollarama has received one consumer complaint concerning this manufacturing defect; however, there have been no choking incidents reported to the company or Health Canada to date,” Health Canada said in a release.
Dollarama says parents and caregivers of children should stop using the product immediately and return it to their stores for a refund.
