Several models of the Munchkin Latch Lightweight Pacifiers and Clips have been recalled due to a potential choking hazard.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the clip cover can detach from the pacifier's clip and pose a hazard for young children.

The recall, issued May 5, affects about 180,000 units that were manufactured in China and sold between March 2014 to March 2016 at Babies R Us, Target, Walmart and other retailers. The pacifiers were also sold online at Amazon.com, Munchkin.com and others.

So far, no injuries have occurred, but the CPSC says that 10 incidences of the clip cover detaching from the pacifier have been reported in the U.S. and Canada.

Consumers who purchased the pacifiers are recommended to "immediately take the clip away from young children and contact Munchkin for a free replacement Lightweight Pacifier pack with two pacifiers or a full refund."
