Amber teething necklaces.

This printout of a webpage contains information about traditional necklaces of amber beads which have been gaining popularity as a necklace for teething babies. The amber supposedly relieves pain when against the skin. This webpage warns that the necklaces are not intended to be chewed on and that if they are and they break they could pose both a choking and a strangulation risk. Babies should not be left sleeping with these necklaces. They may also present a hanging hazard. See: http://www.consumeraffairs.govt.nz/productsafety/consumerinfo/amber_teething.html
