About 1,000 sterling silver teething rings by Empire Silver are being recalled because parts on the rings may separate and release beads inside, creating a choking and aspiration hazard.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Friday announced the recall of the rings sold in the following three styles:

• Single ring with ball.
  
• Single ring with heart and ball.
  
• Three rings with ball.
  

The rings, which were manufactured in the U.S., were sold in U.S. stores beginning in November 2007 for between $50 and $120 US.

No associated injuries have been reported.

Consumers should take the teething rings away from children and return them for a refund or replacement.
