Although these bacteria generally do not cause illness in healthy individuals, they can affect children with weakened immune systems, a statement on the Health Canada website, says.
Children could experience “stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea” if the teether is punctured and the liquid filling is ingested, Health Canada said.
The recalled products are available in purple, aqua and pink or green, orange, blue.
At the back of the packaging, consumers can find the model number is 537169, UPC 6 27972 53716 9 and embossed lot number M2K18V.
The lot number can also be found on the chamber of the teether.
Health Canada advises consumers with the affected product to “immediately stop using the recalled teethers” and contact Elfe Juvenile Products by registering on their webpage for a free replacement teether.
