GOPO Toys Recalls Pull String Teething Toys Due to Choking Risk 2026

GOPO Toys LLC, based in San Bernardino, California, has issued a recall of approximately 70,410 units of its GOPO TOYS Pull String Teething Toys due to a serious choking and respiratory distress hazard. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on June 18, 2026, after confirming the products violate the mandatory federal safety standard for toys. Parents and caregivers are urged to stop using these teething toys immediately and keep them away from children.

What Products Are Being Recalled?

The recall covers GOPO TOYS Pull String Teething Toys sold exclusively on Amazon.com from August 2023 through March 2026, priced between $11 and $15. The toy features an off-white disc shape with a grey ball in the center and six multi-colored, silicone tentacle-looking pull strings running through the ball. The disc also has seven soft push buttons.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

The CPSC determined that the recalled teething toys violate the mandatory federal safety standard for toys because the silicone strings are smaller in diameter and longer than what is permitted under the standard. These oversized strings can reach the back of a child’s throat and become lodged, posing a serious risk of respiratory distress and a deadly choking hazard.

GOPO Toys is aware of three reported incidents in which the toy’s strings reached the back of a child’s throat, resulting in respiratory distress or choking. No fatalities have been reported, but the risk is considered life-threatening, prompting this mandatory recall action.

This recall affects consumers who purchased GOPO TOYS Pull String Teething Toys from Amazon.com between August 2023 and March 2026.

Anyone who has one of these toys in their home with one of the listed batch numbers should take immediate action.
