Silicone Teething Necklace — Caregiver-Worn Infinity Pendant with Breakaway Safety Clasp

Why Buyers Choose the Teething Necklace

• Series-first caregiver-worn form — TN-2022 is the only neck-worn caregiver accessory in the lineup; all five prior SKUs are stand-alone handheld or infant-worn formats.

• Breakaway safety clasp per EN 71-12 — releases automatically under ≥2 kg pull force, meeting the necklace toy cord-strangulation prevention standard; mandatory for this product category.

• Infinity Figure-8 pendant geometry — smooth, dual-lobe silicone form fits naturally into an infant's palmar grasp and provides a clean, continuous chew surface with no raised texture variations.

• Nursing and babywearing companion — caregiver wears the necklace hands-free; infant engages pendant during breastfeeding, skin-to-skin, or carrier-worn sessions without requiring a separate handed toy.

• Modern Mom jewelry aesthetic — eight fashion-forward colorways position TN-2022 as a maternity accessory rather than a conventional teething toy, supporting boutique, gift-box, and D2C SKU development.

• Sensory chew companion — smooth, pliable silicone pendant also serves special-needs children requiring oral sensory input under adult supervision, broadening the addressable retail category.

Specifications

Teether Series Comparison

TN-2022 fills the only caregiver-worn slot in the lineup. The breakaway safety clasp and EN 71-12 cord compliance are structural requirements specific to this category — no feature overlap with any prior SKU in the series.

Use Cases

• Nursing companion — mom wears the necklace; infant grasps and chews the pendant during breastfeeding or bottle-feeding without requiring a separate handheld teether.

• Babywearing and carrier accessory — pendant hangs at infant face height during front-carry babywearing; caregiver's hands remain free throughout.

• Sensory chew necklace for special-needs children — smooth, pliable silicone pendant provides consistent oral sensory input for children with sensory processing needs under direct adult supervision.

• Postpartum modern-mom jewelry SKU — eight fashion-forward colorways position TN-2022 as a wearable maternity accessory for boutique retail and postpartum gift assortments.

• Indie boutique and B2C maternity gift box — necklace form factor and jewelry aesthetic create strong gifting visuals for maternity subscription boxes and specialty retail channels.

Safety and Cleaning

Material safety: The pendant is 100% food-grade silicone — BPA Free, PVC Free, Phthalate Free, Cadmium Free, and Lead Free. The cord is silicone-coated polyester with no metal hardware anywhere in the assembly. Fully compliant with FDA (USA), LFGB (Germany/EU), EN 71-3, EN 71-12, CPC, ASTM F963 § 4.31 (cord and strap), RoHS, and REACH. Chemical safety documentation is available with every sample and bulk production order.

Breakaway safety clasp — EN 71-12 compliance: The breakaway safety clasp releases automatically under ≥2 kg pull force per EN 71-12 (necklace and cord strangulation prevention) and ASTM F963 § 4.31. Do not modify, bypass, or replace the clasp with a non-breakaway alternative.

CRITICAL wear and supervision requirements:

• Caregiver-worn only. Never place the necklace on an infant independently. The cord and clasp assembly is designed for adult neck wear only.

• Never wear the necklace while the infant is sleeping or during any unattended session, including during babywearing naps.

• Remove the necklace before placing the infant in a crib, bassinet, or any sleep surface.

• Inspect the cord and clasp before every use. Discard and replace immediately upon any cord fraying, cord abrasion, clasp wear, pendant tearing, or surface cracking.

• Infant chewing of the pendant is permitted only under continuous direct adult supervision.

Cleaning: Hand-wash pendant with mild neutral soap at 65–80°C. Steam or boil pendant only (≤5 min); do not boil or dishwash the cord — air-dry only. Store clean and dry, away from direct sunlight.

FAQ

Q1: Who is the Teething Necklace designed for — mom or baby?

TN-2022 is designed for the caregiver to wear. The adult wears the necklace around the neck; the infant grasps and chews the pendant during supervised close-contact sessions such as nursing or babywearing. The necklace is never worn by the infant independently.

Q2: Is it safe for the infant to wear the necklace directly?

No. TN-2022 is a caregiver-worn product only. Placing the necklace on an infant independently creates a cord strangulation and entanglement hazard. The breakaway clasp is engineered for adult neck wear dynamics — it is not a substitute for infant-safe closure design. Never allow unsupervised infant contact with the cord.

Q3: What is a breakaway safety clasp and why is it required?

A breakaway safety clasp is a closure mechanism engineered to release automatically when subjected to a defined pull force — in TN-2022, ≥2 kg. EN 71-12 (necklace and cord toy safety) mandates this mechanism to prevent strangulation if the cord becomes caught on an object or if the infant pulls the necklace sharply. It is a non-negotiable compliance requirement for necklace-type toys sold in the EU, US, and most regulated markets. TN-2022 meets EN 71-12 and ASTM F963 § 4.31 cord requirements.

Q4: What is the cord made of — is it food-grade silicone?

The cord is silicone-coated polyester — not a bare silicone tube. The polyester core provides durability and length stability; the silicone coating provides a soft, skin-safe surface and prevents textile fiber exposure. The pendant itself is 100% food-grade silicone. There is no metal hardware anywhere in the cord or clasp assembly. Full material documentation is available with samples.

Q5: How is it different from the Watch Teether (WCT-2021)?

WCT-2021 is a wrist-worn baby teether: the infant wears the product on their wrist via an adjustable silicone strap, and the watch-form pendant is the chewable element. TN-2022 is a neck-worn caregiver product: the adult wears the necklace, and the infant engages the pendant from the caregiver's chest. These are complementary SKUs with no functional overlap — different wear axis, different safety framework (EN 71-12 for the necklace vs. strap safety for the watch), and different retail channel fit.

Q6: Can the pendant shape be customized to my brand mascot?

Yes. Custom pendant molds are available — heart, hexagon, brand mascot, geometric form, or any defined silhouette. Custom cord color (Black, Navy, Brown, or any Pantone) and pendant color matching are also supported. Custom mold costs apply; minimum order 300 pcs. Lead time for new mold tooling is quoted separately based on shape complexity.

Q7: Is it dishwasher or sterilizer safe?

The pendant is compatible with steam sterilization and boiling up to 5 minutes. The cord should not be boiled, steamed, or placed in a dishwasher — air-dry only after hand-washing. Routine cleaning: mild neutral soap at 65–80°C, hand-wash pendant and cord separately. Do not use UV-C sterilizer on the cord.

Q8: Does it contain BPA, PVC, or phthalates?

No. TN-2022 is BPA Free, PVC Free, Phthalate Free, Cadmium Free, and Lead Free. The pendant silicone meets FDA and LFGB food-contact standards. The cord silicone coating is also free of restricted substances per RoHS and REACH. Complete third-party test reports are available with every sample order.

Q9: Can this product also be used as a sensory chew aid for older children?

Yes, under direct adult supervision. The smooth Infinity Figure-8 silicone pendant provides consistent, predictable chew resistance suitable for children requiring oral sensory input — including those with autism spectrum conditions, sensory processing differences, or oral-motor development goals. Supervision is mandatory; TN-2022 is not a standalone chew tool for unsupervised independent use.

Q10: What is the MOQ and lead time?

MOQ is 300 pcs. Samples are ready in 7 days from artwork approval. Bulk production runs 25–35 days from sample sign-off. Colors can be mixed within a single order. Sea, air, and express shipping available from FOB Shenzhen.

Q11: What does CPC compliance mean for US-bound buyers?

A Children's Product Certificate (CPC) is a mandatory US requirement under CPSC 16 CFR 1500 for children's products, confirming that the product has been tested by a CPSC-accepted third-party laboratory and meets all applicable federal children's product safety rules, including ASTM F963 and heavy-element limits. For TN-2022, CPC compliance covers the pendant, cord, and clasp assembly. Importers and retailers distributing TN-2022 in the US must ensure a valid CPC is on file. Mitour supplies CPC documentation with every production order.
