Urgent warning over baby spoons sold on Amazon which could cause choking hazard

Baby spoons sold by Aldi and Amazon are facing a product recall over fears they could be a choking hazard.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is recalling Melii Baby Silicone Spoons amid reports that they could break apart while being used.

This could pose a choking hazard to young babies eating with the utensil – although currently there are no reports of any injuries caused by the breakage.

There have been two reports of the spoon tip breaking apart while being used so far.

The colourful silicone spoons, manufactured in China, are sold in packs of three or four, as well as a five-piece feeding set.

Of the feeding set, only the spoons are being recalled over the potential hazard.

The affected products include the three-pack with the date code 2024-01 while the four-packs have 2023-12 to 2024-05 printed on the back of the spoons.

This recall impacts more than 85,000 units of baby spoons, distinctive for featuring cute animals such as cats, dogs and unicorns on the end of the handle.

According to the CPSC, the issue lies in the spoons’ silicone material, which can crack or break apart during use.

Consumers can take pictures of the spoons before throwing them away while emailing the photos to care@meliibaby.com to receive a free replacement set, MailOnline reports. 

The spoons were sold at Aldi Grocery Stores and Ross and online at buybuyBaby.com, Amazon.com, Sierra.com, MotherandDaughterCreations.com, Just Between Friends (jbfsale.com), MacroBaby.com, TrendyLilTreats.com, TheBrickKitchenStore.com and AdventureSnacks.com between April and August of this year.
