The FDA says teething jewelry made of amber, wood, marble, and silicone can pose risks of strangulation and choking risks to infants.
The agency has received a report of an 18-month-old strangled by his amber teething necklace while sleeping.
Also, a 7-month-old reportedly choked on a bead from a teething bracelet.
The FDA is urging parents to follow the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations of alternative ways for soothing teething pain including rubbing infants' inflamed gums with a clean finger or using teething rings made of firm rubber to chew on.
Children usually began teething around 4-7 months. The AAP says symptoms include mild irritability, a low-grade fever, drooling and the urge to chew something hard.
