SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20121029-7AA07-2147462413. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Dr.Browns Dr. Brown's HappyPaci 100% Silicone Baby Pacifier,. Source model text: Dr. Browns PreVent Pacifier. Incident: We bought the double pack of Dr. Browns PreVent pacifiers (orange and blue) approximately 2 months ago from Target. On 10/29/12 I found the pacifier in 3 pieces in my 8 month old's crib. The three pieces included the rubber piece, the orange colored cap, and the piece that holds the rubber. There was no indication that the pacifier was broken at the time of purchase or prior to finding it in the crib. He did not have any pieces in his mouth when I found it, but this was definitely a choking hazard.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20171027-9FD20-2147396401. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Dr.Browns Dr. Brown's HappyPaci 100% Silicone Baby Pacifier,. Incident: I purchased a Dr. Browns pacifier a little over a month ago at BuyBuy baby and the handle broke into pieces. It was the 2-pack Dr Browns Prevent Countored whale pacifier. I was at dinner the other night and noticed my 6 month old baby had pieces of the plastic handle in his hand. I don�t know how it broke off but he must have somehow been able to break it. Luckily I noticed right away or he could have choked on it. I have notified Dr. Browns and they want me to send the broken pacifier in for inspection.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20251006-3C0CF-2147327295. Severity: No Incident, No Injury. Product: Dr.Browns Dr. Brown's HappyPaci 100% Silicone Baby Pacifier, (100% Silicone Soild pattern). Incident: Consumer Product Safety Report: Product: Dr. Browns HappyPaci 100% Silicone Pacifier Manufacturer: Handi-Craft Company (Dr. Browns) Retailer(s): Amazon (online) Incident Date: 10/4/2025 Consumer Location: [REDACTED] Description of the Incident On 10/4/25 I experienced a serious product failure involving a Dr. Browns HappyPaci 100% Silicone Pacifier. My infant was 4 weeks and 1 day old at the time of the incident. The product had been in use since my baby was born. When she was approximately 3 weeks and 1 day old, I noticed that multiple pacifiers of the same model were beginning to tear at the base, around the small holes on the sides and near the handles. At that time, I assumed this was normal wear or possibly caused by a household pet, and I discarded the damaged pacifiers. All cleaning and sterilization were done according to the manufacturers directions. I washed the pacifiers only by hand using [REDACTED] Baby Bottle/Dish Soap and [REDACTED] Pacifier Wipes, and I sterilized them every 3 to 4 days in a Dr. Browns sterilizer, placed on the top rack as indicated in the manufacturers instructions. The water used for cleaning was warm (approximately 100F), not boiling or scalding. My baby had over 24 Dr. Browns HappyPaci pacifiers, so each individual pacifier received minimal use. The product was labeled as durable and easy to clean on both Amazon and [REDACTED] listings. During the incident, while handwashing one of the pacifiers, I noticed a cat hair on the nipple tip (the bulb). When I lightly pulled the hair away using my fingers, the entire bulb detached cleanly from
