My child choked on a GOPO Toys pull string teething toy. What should I do first?

Your child's health and safety come first. If your child experienced choking or respiratory distress, seek medical attention right away if you have not already done so, and document the visit thoroughly. If you still have the toy, preserve it and do not destroy it before consulting an attorney. The physical product may be critical evidence in a claim. Then contact our GOPO Toys lawsuit attorneys for a free consultation to understand what your legal options may be. There is no cost and no obligation to speak with our team.

The GOPO Toys recall offers a full refund. Is pursuing a lawsuit still worth it?

A refund covers the purchase price of the toy. It does not address your child's medical expenses, any lasting harm your child may have suffered, lost income, pain and suffering, or the emotional impact on your family. A product liability lawsuit seeks compensation that reflects the true scope of what your family has been through, and it holds the company accountable in a way that a refund does not.

My child used a pull string teething toy, but I am not sure if it was the GOPO brand. Can I still have a claim?

Possibly. Several nearly identical pull string teething toys have been recalled from Amazon under different brand names, including Yetonamr, AiTuiTui, Tiyol, and LiKee, among others. If your child was injured by a pull string teething toy purchased on Amazon that shares the same disc-and-silicone-string design, you may have grounds to pursue a claim regardless of the brand name on the packaging. Our pull string teething toy injury lawyers can evaluate your situation.

How long do I have to file a GOPO Toys lawsuit?

Each state sets its own deadline for filing a product liability claim. In Pennsylvania, for example, the standard statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. These deadlines are strict, and missing them can eliminate your right to seek compensation entirely, regardless of how serious your child's injuries were. It is important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after identifying a potential claim.

Who can be held liable in a pull string teething toy injury lawsuit?

Product liability claims are subject to statutes of limitations that vary by state, and those deadlines apply regardless of how serious your child's injuries were or how recently the recall was announced. In some states, the window is as short as two years from the date of injury. Because pull string teething toy litigation is still developing, consulting an attorney now, rather than waiting to see how the broader litigation unfolds, can help protect your family's legal options.

Pull String Teething Toy Injury Lawyers Holding Manufacturers of Dangerous Baby Products Accountable

When you ordered a colorful pull string teether designed to soothe your teething infant, you never expected the toy to put your child’s safety at risk. But in June 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled GOPO TOYS Pull String Teething Toys after three children were reported choking and experiencing respiratory distress. If your child was injured while using one of these toys, your family needs to understand your legal rights. With mass tort experience and a long history of fighting for families, our GOPO Toys lawsuit attorneys are prepared to help you pursue accountability.

At Anapol Weiss, we recognize that the GOPO Toys recall is part of a troubling pattern. In the months before and after this recall, the CPSC announced the recall of several nearly identical pull string teething toys sold by different companies through Amazon. Each of these recalls involved the same fundamental design flaw: silicone strings too small and too long to meet mandatory federal toy safety standards. Across these recalls, hundreds of thousands of units have been pulled from the market, and numerous incidents have been reported involving choking hazards, respiratory distress, or silicone strings reaching children's throats.

Our pull string teething toy injury lawyers are taking action on behalf of families affected by these dangerous products. Leaders on pull string teething toy litigation at Anapol Weiss include associate Dominique Montoya, associate Jillian Bello, and associate William Santarsiero, all legal advocates who have a well-established history of fighting for the injured.

We represent families in GOPO Toys pull string teething toy cases on a contingency basis, so there are no upfront attorney's fees. Reach out today by phone or through our online contact form for a free, confidential consultation.

When Are Families Eligible to File a GOPO Toys Lawsuit Over Pull String Teething Toy Injuries?

If your child was harmed while using a GOPO Toys pull string teething toy, or if you have concerns about an incident that occurred while your child was using the product, our GOPO Toys lawsuit attorneys are prepared to evaluate your situation at no cost.

We are particularly interested in investigating matters that involve circumstances like the following:

Use of a GOPO TOYS Pull String Teething Toy (generally purchased on Amazon.com between August 2023 and March 2026)
An incident in which the toy's silicone strings reached the back of a child's throat
Harm that may include choking, respiratory distress, or another injury connected to the use of the product
Consequences that include a documented injury, emergency medical treatment, or hospitalization

Families whose children were injured by other pull string teething toys sharing this same disc-and-silicone-string design are also encouraged to contact our pull string teething toy injury lawyers for a free evaluation. These brands include:

Yetonamr
AiTuiTui
Tiyol
LiKee
Similar products sold on Amazon

You don’t have to know for sure whether your child's experience constitutes grounds for a legal claim before reaching out. A conversation with our injury lawyers can help you clarify your options, and it costs your family nothing.

Product liability cases are often complex, and legal issues about defective children’s toys are no exception. Even with the CPSC aware of three reports of the toy's silicone strings reaching the back of a child's throat, constituting a serious and documented choking hazard, you still need to present a strong, evidence-backed case against the manufacturer and any other defendants.

Filing a GOPO Toys Pull String Teething Toy Injury Claim

A child's choking emergency can happen in an instant. The aftermath, including medical appointments, fear, and uncertainty, can leave families feeling overwhelmed. Our GOPO Toys lawsuit attorneys are here to hold manufacturers accountable, managing every aspect of the legal process for you while your family concentrates on recovery.

If your child was injured by a GOPO Toys pull string teething toy, here is how to protect your family's legal options:

Get the toy out of reach and keep it intact: Do not allow other children to use it, and do not destroy it to claim the manufacturer's refund before speaking with an attorney. In a product liability claim, the physical toy is potentially your most important piece of evidence.
Prioritize your child's medical care: Even if your child recovered quickly from a choking or respiratory episode, a medical evaluation creates a documented record of what happened. This documentation can be critical to establishing harm in a legal claim. See a doctor and keep all records.
Track down your purchase information: Check your Amazon order history for confirmation of the purchase date and product details. Note the batch number on the back of the packaging if you still have it. Batch numbers 250905, 250530, 250120, 240315, 231005, and 230610 are included in the recall.
Speak with an attorney before taking any other steps: The decisions you make in the days and weeks following an injury can help strengthen your position and preserve your legal options later. A consultation with our team costs nothing and can help you move forward with a clear understanding of your rights.

Once you retain our team, we take over the legal process entirely. We will investigate the full chain of responsibility, from the design of the product to its manufacture, distribution, and sale, and identify every party whose conduct may have contributed to your child's injury. Depending on the facts and circumstances of your case, potential defendants may include GOPO Toys LLC, the China-based manufacturer, and potentially the platform through which the product reached your home.

Mass Torts, Individual Lawsuits, and MDLs: Understanding Your Family’s Legal Options After a Pull String Toy Choking Incident

With multiple nearly identical pull string teething toys recalled from Amazon in a matter of months, as well as dozens of confirmed choking incidents across those recalls, this litigation has the potential to grow significantly.

How your family's claim proceeds will depend on how the broader litigation develops and the specific circumstances of your child's injury.

Individual lawsuits: Filed and litigated on their own merits, individual claims allow your family to seek compensation based entirely on your child's specific injuries and your documented losses, without waiting for larger coordinated litigation to resolve.
Mass torts: As more families with similar injuries come forward against the same or related defendants, their claims may be coordinated before a single judge. Each plaintiff retains an individual claim and seeks individual compensation, but shared discovery and resources can strengthen every case in the group.
Multidistrict litigation (MDL): Given the volume of nearly identical products recalled across multiple brands, federal courts may eventually consolidate related claims into MDL proceedings. Anapol Weiss has significant experience in MDL matters, including appointment to leadership roles. This experience positions our clients well if this litigation reaches that scale.

The path that makes the most sense for your family will depend on how this litigation develops and where your claim fits within it. What is clear is that acting early matters: families who come forward now are better positioned to preserve evidence, meet deadlines, and participate in coordinated litigation as it takes shape.

The Design Flaw Behind the GOPO Toys Recall Lawsuit

The June 2026 recall of GOPO TOYS Pull String Teething Toys was not the result of a manufacturing anomaly or an isolated incident. It was the outcome of a design that violated the mandatory federal safety standard for toys, one that the CPSC has now identified across multiple brands sold through Amazon.

The recalled toys consist of an off-white disc shape with a gray ball in the center and six multi-colored silicone pull strings that run through the ball. According to the CPSC, these toys fail the mandatory standard for toys due to:

Strings that are too small and too long: The silicone pull strings are smaller in diameter and longer than the maximum dimensions permitted under federal toy safety standards.
Airway obstruction risk: Because of their dimensions, the strings can reach the back of a child's throat and become lodged, creating a risk of respiratory distress and deadly choking.

What makes this recall particularly significant is the broader context. The GOPO TOYS product is one of several nearly identical pull string teething toys, sharing the same disc-and-silicone-string design, that have been recalled from Amazon across a span of months.

This pattern of multiple products with the same design, the same flaw, and the same harm, sold under rotating brand names, raises serious questions about whether manufacturers and distributors took adequate steps to identify and address a known hazard before more children were hurt.

Types of Damages Families May Recover Through a Pull String Teething Toy Injury Lawsuit

A choking incident can be over in seconds, but its impact on a child and family can last far longer. When a defective teething toy causes a child to experience respiratory distress or a life-threatening choking episode, the medical, financial, and emotional toll can be substantial. A successful claim may allow your family to recover compensation for losses that include:

Medical bills from emergency treatment, hospitalization, and any follow-up evaluations your child required
Future medical costs if your child sustained any lasting physical harm
Lost income if you missed work to care for your child or attend medical appointments in the aftermath of the incident
Pain and suffering your child experienced as a result of the injury
The emotional distress your family has carried since the incident occurred

For families facing the most devastating outcomes, such as a child with lasting injury or a loss that no family should have to bear, our pull string teething toy injury lawyers will pursue every avenue the law provides, including wrongful death claims where applicable.

Our attorneys will evaluate the full scope of your family's losses and pursue the fullest recovery your circumstances support.

Get to Know the Anapol Weiss Attorneys Leading GOPO Toys Litigation

Our team at Anapol Weiss has been fighting for the injured and giving victims a voice in the legal system for more than 45 years.

Dominique Montoya, associate, brings a distinctive perspective to product liability litigation: she has litigated personal injury matters from both sides of the courtroom, giving her a thorough understanding of how defendants build their cases and where those cases can be challenged. At Anapol Weiss, she focuses on representing individuals harmed by dangerous products and medical negligence. Her volunteer work on behalf of child victims through the Support Center for Child Advocates reflects a commitment to advocacy that extends well beyond the courtroom.

Jillian Bello, associate, brings a background in complex medical malpractice and catastrophic personal injury to the ongoing pull string teething toy cases. This experience is directly relevant when a child's injury involves respiratory distress or choking with potential lasting consequences. She was part of the team that secured a $9.7 million jury verdict, nearly $11.6 million with prejudgment interest, against a neurosurgeon and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital on behalf of a patient injured during surgery. Jillian has earned recognition in the 2025 Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America for her work in medical malpractice law and personal injury litigation.

William Santarsiero, associate, concentrates on complex product liability matters and has handled cases involving defective consumer products and medical devices across all phases of litigation. In pull string teething toy cases, where establishing liability may require tracing a defective design across multiple brands, manufacturers, and distributors, his hands-on approach to case development, from initial investigation through trial preparation, is a meaningful asset for injured families.

Our GOPO Toys Lawsuit Attorneys Can Help Your Family Navigate the Legal Process

At Anapol Weiss, we do not simply process claims. We champion them. From the first conversation with your family through every stage of litigation, our team brings the full weight of our investigative resources, legal experience, and commitment to your cause to bear on your case.

When we handle your legal matter, here’s what we do for you:

Deploy cutting-edge investigative technology and resources to trace liability across a complex, multi-brand distribution chain
Identify every potentially responsible party, from the China-based manufacturer to the U.S. distributor to the online marketplace through which the product was sold
Collaborate with medical professionals to document your child's injuries and connect them to the specific design defect at the center of these recalls
Monitor the evolving landscape of pull string teething toy litigation to position your claim strategically as coordinated legal actions develop
Keep you informed and supported at every stage while we handle the legal complexity, so your family can focus on what matters most

Pull string teething toy cases present a particular challenge: the companies responsible may be based overseas, the same design may have been sold under a dozen different names, and the platform through which the product reached your home may bear its own share of accountability. Our GOPO Toys lawsuit attorneys are prepared to follow that chain wherever it leads.
