Before each use check carefully. Throw away at the first sign of damage or weakness. Never lengthen the soother holder/dummy clip! Never attach to cords, laces ribbons, blankets or loose parts of clothing. The child may be strangled. Only attach soother holder to a garment. Supervise your child at all times when in use. Remove while child is sleeping. Not to be used when baby is in a cot, bed or crib. This is a soother / dummy holder, do not use as a toy or teether.

Care Instructions:

Physically check the dummy chain and its clip before each individual use. Pull, twist and bend the dummy chain to ensure there is no sign of weakness, wear and tear or damage. Open and close the clip to ensure it still functions properly. Check there are no cracks in the wooden top or wooden beads on the chain.Check the plastic snaps on the cotton chain to ensure they are not loose or broken. Inspect the macrame and faux leather chains to ensure all braided components are intact and not worn.

Throw away at the first sign of damage or weakness.

Only clip your dummy clip onto thin materials that is of thickness such as the thickness of T-shirt material. Clipping it onto thicker materials like jumpers or the thicker edge of bibs etc will stretch the clamping mechanism and will make the clip loose and not function as intended and will require replacing much sooner. We will not replace any clips that have been used in this way and stretched, as they are not considered faulty, they have been misused.

This is not a teething toy and it should not be allowed to be chewed on or put in their mouth.

Baby dribble can cause the chains to become wet. Dribble, like water can cause it to wear and tear faster. In particular, if the faux leather chains become wet and use is continued, it can cause the faux leather to break down. If this occurs, please remove the dummy clip and allow it to dry before continuing to use it. Faux leather chains are best used on newborns only.

DUMMY CHAINS ARE NOT TEETHING TOYS.
