I think what's happened with the Happy Baby dummies could happen with any dummy, so I don't know that getting another brand would reduce the risk.

I'm using Happy Baby dummies and DS likes them - they're also the ones used by the hospital where I birthed, and recommended by my Doula. I've checked both of mine and they seem securely attached, but I agree with MuminAlice, any sign of wear then I'll chuck them.

Tbh, I think the media-storm is worse than the risk itself.
