Teethers are designed to relieve the pain of infants as teeth erupt through the gums during the teething process. Although teethers can help soothe the gums and promote healthy teeth development, teether side effects can include dangerous infections and choking hazards that put a baby’s safety at risk.
Illness and infection are among the teether side effects that may affect the products recalled by The First Years. It is possible that some models of these liquid filled teethers are contaminated with harmful bacteria that could threaten the health of infants if ingested. Although there have not yet been any illnesses reported that are linked to these teether products, it is important for concerned parents to be aware of the risks their children may have been exposed to.
Of primary concern in The First Years recall is the teether side effect of bacterial infection. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and pseudomonas putida are two types of bacteria that may be present in contaminated liquid filled teethers. These bacteria can cause urinary tract and blood infections if ingested.
Bacterial infections can develop into serious or life-threatening ailments. Parents who believe that their children are suffering from these harmful teether side effects should seek prompt medical attention. When it comes to bacterial infections, it is better to be preemptive and safe than sorry.
If your family has been impacted by negative teether side effects, you owe it to yourself and those you care about to contact an attorney. An experienced baby product recall lawyer can assist you in your fight for justice and help provide security in your time of need.
