Motley Pacifier Chain

I loved the look, the feel, everything about this chain until this weekend. I bought at christmas for my son, he is now 4.5 months (2 months later) and teething, puts everything in his mouth and sucks on everything. Well the wetness caused the wood to crack on three beads, I noticed it in time, a small bit of pressure with my fingers and was able to break all three beads into pieces. I am so glad this didn't happen when my son was playing with it, easy to choke on these pieces. If you use this item makes sure to check often for cracks!

This pacifier chain is great-looking, but it does not hold up to lots of chewing/sucking. My son is 4 1/2 months old and puts everything in his mouth. I checked on the chain after he chewed on it for a while and noticed that 2 beads were cracked! I ended up having to throw it out since I was afraid the beads would break and become a choking hazard.

I splurged on this item for my daughter two years ago, but she used it maybe 6 or 8 times, as she never took a pacifier. I love Haba products in general and have always found them to be of really high quality. My son is now 9 mos old and we've used this pacifier tether maybe 3 or 4 dozen times. I have never seen him chewing on the beads or string, just the soothie teething pacifier attached to the end of it. The other day, while it was attached to his onesie and he was tugging on it, the string gave way, sending beads flying all over the room. He of course put some in his mouth immediately. It looks like a knot hidden within the beadwork came undone, but I'm not sure. I am grateful I was there and he was not hurt. I notified Haba and the CPSC of the potential choking hazard. Haba responded quickly and professionally by email and phone, including a request that the pieces be sent to them for further investigation. The CPSC called me in response to my online report and told me that because of prior complaints, they have an ongoing investigation into these pacifier chains, and they are sending someone out to interview me and take photos of the pieces before they are sent back to the manufacturer. It is a really nice wooden alternative to some of the other paci tethers out there, but until they figure out whatever the problem is, and if it can be fixed, I can not recommend it to anyone.

My 8 month old loved this! I knew he would, that is why I was willing to spend so much money on it. Unfortunately he can easily pull the clip off and he starts to chew on the metal alligator clip part in the blink of an eye. I have had several binky clips with my kids and none came off this easy. I'm too afraid to let him use it because I'm too afraid of his tongue getting pinched by the clip. It is super cute and fun but there is a design flaw.

This is a really neat pacifier chain--great colors and shapes, holds our child's interest, makes the pacifier VERY hard to lose, and no worries about the product being made in China. That said, I am sad to report that after only five months of use, the yellow bead closest to the pacifier is splitting down the middle. Our child does put the chain in his mouth a lot, but he has no teeth, so my guess is that there's an issue with getting the beads wet (bad design flaw if that's the case) or we happened to get an item with a defective bead. In any case, I hesitate to recommend this item without reservation, and would suggest that if you DO order this item, keep an eye on it for splits in the beads.
