Gerber announced Friday that it was recalling and discontinuing its brand of ''Sooth N Chew'' teething sticks after receiving customer complaints about choking. The company said one emergency room visit had been reported.
The teething sticks are edible teethers marketed to parents and guardians of children six months and older. They come in strawberry-apple and banana flavors.
Gerber said it was working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on the recall.
Customers who bought the teething sticks should return them to stores where they were purchased for a refund, the company said.
