Comments from the Manufacturer/Private Labeler
  • At MAM, safety is our top priority. All MAM products meet or exceed all CPSC requirements and included in those requirements for pacifiers are structural integrity tests. Teething can start as early as 3 months of age, and therefore all of our pacifiers are accompanied with the warning that states - “inspect carefully before each use, especially when the child has teeth” and “throw away at the first signs of damage or weakness”. We appreciate all consumers who contact us, as it gives us the opportunity to address any concerns, and gain feedback on our products. Consumers can call us toll free at 866-949-1174.
