15,000 Baby Teething Rings Sold at Dollarama Recalled Over Fungus Concerns

Health Canada has issued a recall for thousands of baby teethers sold in Canada over concerns of fungal contamination.

The health agency said in a Jan. 20 recall notice that the Disney-themed product was sold at Dollarama stores between November 2023 and January 2026. There were 15,289 teethers sold in Canada.

The teether comes in two styles, with both featuring a hollow octagonal shape with textured segments. One is teal in colour with Mickey Mouse imaging and the other is pink with Minnie Mouse graphics. The model number of the impacted product is 3121188.

Testing done by the agency found the liquid inside the teethers was contaminated with the fungus Rhinocladiella similis. Heath Canada noted the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act prohibits “any living microorganisms” in teether fillings.

The fungus is usually harmless, Health Canada said, but could cause an infection if the teether was punctured and the liquid filling ingested.

There were no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada as of Jan. 14, according to the recall notice.

The agency said consumers should immediately stop using the product and return it to the store for a refund.

Other Baby Items Recalled

Health Canada also issued a recall for child strollers last week over concerns the device presents a choking hazard.

The agency said the INFANS baby stoller, sold as a 3-in-1 stroller with an adjustable backrest and canopy, has a grab bar with foam material that children can reach, which may release small parts and poses a risk of choking.

Health Canada said there were no reports of injuries or incidents as of Dec. 25, 2025.

The model number for the recalled stroller is 704, and it comes in three colours: pink (BC10134PI), grey (BC10134GR), and black (BC10134BK).

Consumers were advised to stop using the stroller and contact the manufacturer for more information, noting that a repair kit would be provided once it is available.

Dollarama also issued a recall over a baby toothbrush in May 2025, over concerns the brush presented a choking hazard.

Health Canada said the brush, which is shaped like a banana, had a manufacturing defect that allowed the handle of the silicone brush to be broken in half. It advised consumers to stop using the Oracare Baby Brush toothbrush and to return it to the store for a refund.

Dollarama received one consumer complaint over the brush, Health Canada said, adding there had been no choking incident reported to the company or the agency as of June 13, 2025.

The store also said that it will no longer import or sell the baby toothbrush.
