Under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act , teether fillings must not contain any living microorganisms. Health Canada’s sampling and evaluation program has determined that the liquid filling is contaminated with the bacteria Fictibactillius arsenicus and Metabacillus idriensis . These bacteria are usually harmless, but may cause an infection in children if the teether is punctured and the liquid filling is ingested. As of January 21, 2026, the company has received no report(s) of incidents or injuries in Canada.
