Skip Hop Elmo Teether Recalled — Stop Using Now if You Have Model 9R263210

What the Teether Looks Like

The recalled teether is shaped like Elmo's face, with a red, orange, and white body. It includes a textured key attachment (blue) and a fabric crayon box (beige, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red). The black eyes are the components at issue.

The model number 9R263210 is on the product packaging. If you're not sure whether your teether is the recalled version, check the packaging or contact Skip Hop directly.

What to Do Now

Stop using the recalled teether and keep it away from children. You don't need to return it to a store — instead, contact Skip Hop through the dedicated recall page at skiphoprecall.com. The company will provide a refund in the form of a gift card that can be used at any William Carter Company brand store, including Carter's, Skip Hop, OshKosh B'gosh, and Little Planet.

A key safety note worth passing along: silicone teethers should not be frozen. Freezing them can compromise the integrity of the material over time, and this recall is a reminder that frozen teethers carry their own risks beyond the specific product recalled here. If you have any silicone teethers in your freezer, take them out and use them at room temperature only.

What's Next

Check your existing baby gear against the CPSC's searchable recall database at cpsc.gov/Recalls. If you share this information with other COS parents — in a school pickup line, a neighborhood group, or a parenting app — you might prevent an injury. The recall affects any family who purchased this product, not just in Colorado Springs, so it's worth a broader share as well.
