The teether (made in china) came out of the pack with a bad smell. The material used for construction seems to be unhygenic. Raspberry part is glued to the teether base. My doubts are that it can come off easily. The raspberry part was itself marked with black dots which i first thought are part of the design but when i rubbed them with my thumb... they vanished.Design is very good and practical but construction (raspberry glued, black dots) and material used is worse.

My daughter has never taken a pacifier, but I bought this for her anyway because it was so different. And sure enough when I tried to put it in her mouth, she spit it right out.But then she had a horrible fit of teething pain a few days later, and I gave this to her again, and she's loved it ever since. She can actually hold onto the ring, unlike most pacifiers, so she can put it in her mouth herself, take it out, chew on it however she likes, and repeat. The green but is textured and has jagged edges, and she loves to chew on them when she's feeling teething pain. The red bit is bigger than most pacifiers, and I think it's not really meant to sooth... she just gnaws away at it when she's in pain.Kudos to whoever designed this... it's great!

I ordered this item from a different site and I was excited when it arrived but that was short lived. When I open the package I realized the teether was poorly made. I could see a seam where the handle part of the teether was attached to the base. I could see the silicone type glue that was used to attach the two pieces together. With a little bit of pulling I was able to separate the two pieces. This was immediately thrown away. I was glad I never gave this to my child. If he pulled it off he could have choked.**I am adding an edit to this review. The teether that I was reviewing was the one with either the red bulb or the blue bulb. Reading other reviews it appears as the light blue one and the pink one are one solid piece. Since I do not have the solid one I can not verify that information 100%.**Edit once again. I have ordered the all blue teether and I can confirm it is all one piece. While my son doesn't really care for the teether I think it is made well and I am sure other kids would enjoy it.

I was excited to buy this after reading all the positive reviews, but my baby does not enjoy this teether and I'm not even sure it's safe. The "berry" part seems to be glued onto the ring part, and even after boiling it it has a peculiar smell. My daughter took one nibble and screwed up her face as if it tasted bad. I threw it away.

My fourth month old little girl has been teething for some time already, and we have tried many teethers. But this by far is the best. It is so easy for her to put in her mouth without getting fustrated. The berry part is the perfect size and shape for her mouth. My daughter does not use any kinds of pacifers but this teether she loves. I will be giving it as gifts to all the news moms I know.

This teether is NOT SAFE and DOES pose a serious choking hazard. The "mouth shield" is very flexible and allows an infant or small child to turn the teether sideways and get the entire thing into their mouth, as it happened with my 5-1/2 month old son recently. Fortunately, I was in the room when my baby got the entire teether stuck sideways in his mouth and began to choke, all within two minutes of his first time using the teether. The mouth shield and ring both need to be made of hard, inflexible material, the same as a pacifier, to avoid this choking risk.I recently contacted Razbaby.com and was told the following:"We are very sorry to hear of your incident. The RaZberry teether has beenin the market since 2004 and we have never had this issue.The RaZberry teether has been tested extensively for all the safetystandards for pacifiers. One of the many test that is performed is on theshield (mouth guard) to make sure it does not present a choking hazard. Ithas passed all the standards in the USA, Europe, Canada and Australia."Nevertheless, the instructions on the back of the package clearly state "This product is not a pacifier or a toy." It also states "Do not tie the teether around baby's neck as it presents a strangulation danger." Really? Before or after they've choked on the teether itself?I have researched this issue online and found that other many parents have complained of the same choking problem. Absolutely nowhere on the package does it even state the possibility of any risk of choking. Maybe pacifier testing standards are less stringent than toy standards (as most pacifiers are "built" the same.) Seems like every toy on the market has a statement of "may pose a choking risk" somewhere on the packaging, even puzzles and stuffed animals.If you're going to buy this item from Amazon or anywhere else, be careful and watch your baby at ALL TIMES, but I wouldn't take the chance. It only takes one time.

Firstly, let me just say that I am very glad that I ignored the "most helpful" review saying that it would come apart. I completely feared this because my baby seems to eat everything he can get his hands on, and he's only about 5 months! Well, I received the product and I couldn't be happier with the concept. It is a soft silicone material, comparable to other teething toys on the market, and my baby took to it instantly. The bonus: it is shaped like a pacifier, so babies can suck on it and it fits comfortably in their mouths. I can't say enough good things about this product.Now about it coming apart, the green and red and green and blue teether's are two parts brought together, however the pink and the light blue teethers are one peice (i.e. there is no way it will come apart!!). I completely recommend the light blue, considering that is the one I bought for my baby boy. It is a very nice color, just as shown in the picture, and it is only about fifty cents more than the original "raZ-berry teether".So, if you really want the contrast in colors, you can take the risk with one of the dual-color raz-berry teethers; Many people have been more than happy with the those and never had a problem with it coming apart. But personally, I would recommend the one-color ones; They are just as cute and you won't have to worry about the possibility that it will come apart. Enjoy!

OK.. SO i SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THE REVIEWS ABOUT THE CHOKING WARNING!!!! MY 5 1/2 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER JUST LITERALLY 30 MINS AGO GOT THE RING PART LOGGED IN HER THROAT AND I IMMEDIATELY RIPPED IT OUT AND SHE THREW UP EVERYWHERE!! THANK GOD I WAS SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO HER HANGING UP HER CLOTHES!! I AM MAKING IT MY MISSION TO MAKE SURE THESE ARE RECALLED! THIS COULD TURN TRAGIC, I GUARENTEE IT!I DIDNT LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS FROM MOTHERS, I THOUGHT "OH WELL THEY LEFT THEIR CHILD UNSUPERVISED"... NO! THIS CAN CHOKE YOUR CHILD IN A SPLIT SECOND! AND BEFORE PEOPLE LECTURE ABOUT "A PARANOID MOTHER".. THINK FOR A MOMENT.. SOMETHING THAT EVEN RUNS THE RISK OF DOING THIS TO YOUR CHILD SO SUDDENLY SHOULD NOT BE ON STORE SHELVES!! COMING FROM A STAY AT HOME MOM WHO IS VERY VERY CAREFUL AND DOESNT EVER LEAVE HER CHILD WITHOUT DUPERVISION OR A MONITOR ON WHILE SHE SLEEPS, THIS IS JUST DANGEROUS!! I PRAY THAT THIS DOESNT HAPPEN TO A BABY, AND IT TURNS TRAGIC!!! I JUST THINK MOTHERS HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE BUYING!

I absolutely love the idea of this teether which is why I bought it. Unfortunately, the raspberry part (which seemed like it was just glued) came apart from the rest of the binky which posed a huge chocking hazard. This scared me since I usually leave teethers in my child's crib where I am not constantly supervising. I would not recommend this product. I feel a lot more confident in the teether binky from "Soothie" that is all one piece. It's unfortunate because it looks like it would be a fantastic product if only it was constructed safer...

My son absolutely loved this but my mom and I had the scariest experience ever. Do not let your child use this unless you are watching them constantly. We both took our eyes away from him for just a second and he turned the binky around and started sucking on the handle. The handle is soft and with my son sucking it, it lodged in his throat. The thing was almost completely in his mouth! It took two of us to get that thing out. I contacted them and they said they would send an envelope so that we could send it back to get tested however they never sent it. To make matters worse, somehow he found another one (we bought a few of them) and it almost happened a second time. If you care for your child safety, DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!
