Fridababy recalls SmileFrida ToothHugger brushes for 18+ months that may break from chewing, exposing metal pieces. Owners should stop using and check for damage.

Specifically, repeated chewing or biting on the SmileFrida, the ToothHugger has caused deterioration in the outer layer of the brush and in very rare occasions, may cause the hard plastic brush head to break, exposing a small metal piece welded inside the brush head.
Fridababy is recalling its SmileFrida ToothHugger brushes for children 18 months and older because repeated chewing can cause the brush to break, potentially exposing metal pieces. This poses a small risk of injury if the broken piece is swallowed or inserted into the mouth.
