Gerber, a leader in baby food and baby products, is going to stop making its “soothe n chew” teething sticks because they pose a choking hazard to babies and young children, the Food and Drug Administration announced.

The teething sticks, which come in strawberry apple and banana flavors, have also been recalled. They were distributed to just about every state in the U.S. as well as Puerto Rico.
