Because the latex is aging faster than normal, the nipple can detach from the shield, presenting a choking hazard to babies. Playtex has received 21 reports of pacifier nipples detaching from the shields. No injuries have been reported. Only Classic Patterns "Cherubs" and Soft Comfort latex pacifiers are being recalled. The Classic Patterns pacifiers have the word "Cherubs" embossed in bold block letters on the colored knob of the pacifier shield. The Soft Comfort pacifiers have a soft, butterfly- shaped shield, available with or without a swivel handle. The word "Playtex" is embossed on the pacifier's swivel handle. The pacifiers come in a variety of colors and designs. They were packaged individually or in sets of two. UPC Code Product Name 078300-05448-1 Soft Comfort Pacifier - 1 Pack 07830 Hazards: Choking
