Newark, NJ–Gromex Inc., has participated in a recall of approximately 700 units of Jaloma pacifiers. Gromex Inc. is headquartered in Passaic, New Jersey. The voluntary recall was issued after the company discovered the pacifiers posed a choking and aspiration hazard to small children.

The main duty of the CPSC is to protect consumers from unsafe consumer products.
The recalled Jaloma pacifiers have a round-shaped mouth guard and a ring-shaped handle. There are two ventilation holes on the mouth guard. The word “Jaloma” is marked on the mouth guard’s handle side. The pacifier’s nipple contains a gel-like liquid substance.
