A brand of baby toothbrush is being recalled due to a potential choking hazard, Health Canada said in a public advisory on Friday.
The Oracare Baby Brush, sold across the country at Dollarama, is being recalled after a consumer complaint concerning a manufacturing “defect” that can cause the product to break into two pieces.
According to Health Canada, there have been no reported incidents of choking to date, but Dollarama says it will no longer import or sell the product.
