Amazon is urgently recalling a baby teether toy over suffocation fears.

The online retailer is asking parents and guardians to stop using the "Mushroom Teether Toys for Newborn Babies, Toddlers, Infants, Relieve Sore Gum – BPA-Free Chew Toy" immediately.

A safety issue has been identified with the mushroom head of the soother that can flip around creating a very tight suction.
