Our international requirements for tensile strength are much higher than required. 'Each soother undergoes a tensile strength test and is batch coded for complete traceability. 'There has never been a serious safety issue on MAM products in the UK.
'All MAM products have been extensively researched and tested to ensure that they are suitable for the purpose for which they have been designed for and of the highest standard. We are in contact with the customer directly. 'MAM are not yet in a position to comment on this particular incident.
Ms Henry and her partner Martin say they no longer give little Eireann a dummy following the incidentĪ spokesperson for MAM said: 'MAM takes all of its complaints extremely seriously and this one is no exception. The manufacturer MAM - which sells baby products in pharmacies and supermarkets across the country as well as internationally - has sent the product for testing in Austria. 'I haven't been able to settle her in her cot after the trauma she went through in there, but I'm hoping she will forget all about it soon.' 'Eireann thankfully seems fine, but she has been gagging after eating, which the doctor said is the result of an inflamed throat. The consequences could have been far more tragic. 'I was lucky to have known what to do thanks to my training, but other parents might not be so fortunate. The pull tests should be mentioned more clearly on the packaging. 'Though Eireann has six teeth, I don't think she bit the end off. 'I've always researched things like car seats and prams, but never dummies - I didn't realise the potential danger of them. They said you are supposed to pull on the teat to check it's secure 'They then asked if I had done a pull test but I had never heard of it. Ms Henry said: 'When I explained to the company what had happened, they offered me another dummy which I declined. MAM said today it is investigating the product following the incident Ms Henry said she bought the dummy from manufacturer MAM on Ebay earlier in the summer and says the one in question hadn't long been used. She and her partner, a joiner, no longer give Eireann a dummy but argue that this safety test should be more widely publicised so other parents know the risk. She contacted MAM - which is now investigating the product - and says she was told she should have carried out a 'pull test' on the dummy before allowing her daughter to use it. Ms Henry said she bought the dummy from manufacturer MAM on eBay earlier in the summer and says the one in question had not been in use long. If I hadn't gone up the stairs when I did, things would have been so much worse.' Martin got home soon after and I was in bits. 'I'd called 999 so the paramedics checked her over but by that point she seemed fine. 'It was another minute before she came round and started to cry. I lifted Eireann out of the cot and did back slaps, then chest presses, then another round of back slaps before the teat came out. 'I used to be a nursery nurse so I have paediatric first aid training. 'My partner Martin was out at the time but I shouted for my eldest daughter, who was just in shock and kept saying she didn't know what to do. Ms Henry said Eireann, (pictured) who is 13 months old, remains distressed following the incident last week
