Plastic plates, bowls of Playtex recalled over choking hazard for children

Playtex-branded plastic plates and bowls for children are being recalled after the distributor received four reports of choking in Canada.

Health Canada and Edgewell Personal Care Canada say consumers should stop using the products and return them for a refund.

They say the choking risk comes from a clear plastic coating that can peel or bubble from the surface of the plates or bowls.The products had been on the market in Canada since January 2010, with about 1.9 million units sold here and 3.6 million units distributed in the United States
