NEW YORK (PIX11) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is issuing a recall reminder for Gerber Soothe N Chew Teething Sticks after reports it was still being sold in stores and online after an initial recall in January.

The strawberry apple flavor and banana flavor of the Soothe N Chew Teething Sticks were previously recalled because of a potential choking hazard for infants and young children, according to the FDA. Gerber has also since initiated a discontinuation of the product.
