Recall Details
WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Scenique Toys, Inc., San Francisco, CA is voluntarily recalling approximately 1,250 "Teething Wheel" teethers, model number SIL/893. When CPSC tested the Teething Wheel in accordance with regulations under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, the dumbbell-shaped pieces positioned inside the wheel separated in half, creating small parts that pose a potential choking hazard for young children.
The Teething Wheel consists of a white four-inch diameter ring; and four two-inch dumbbell-shaped pieces colored red, blue, green and yellow that are positioned through a clear plastic disk in the middle of the white ring. The clear plastic disk is embossed with the words "MADE IN CHINA." A label on the box reads "Produced By SCENIQUE TOYS INC., 645 Harrison Street, San Francisco, CA, 94107, USA, Made in China."
The Teething Wheel, imported by Scenique Toys, Inc., was sold nationwide from February 1990 to July 1990 through various retail stores for an average retail price of $4.99 each.
The CPSC and the company are aware of one non-injury incident involving this product. This voluntary recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of any future injuries.
The potentially hazardous Teething Wheel was identified during a follow-up to a consumer complaint made to CPSC.
Consumers are urged to take the Teething Wheel away from young children immediately and return it to the store where purchased for a refund or they may mail the product to Scenique Toys, Inc., 645 Harrison Street, San Francisco, CA 94107 for a full refund of the purchase price and shipping costs.

The recalled baby nests violate the safety requirements of CPSC’s Safety Standard for Infant Sleep Products, posing a suffocation risk and fall and entrapment hazards to infants. The failures include not having a stand and not meeting the requirements for side height, sleeping pad thickness, and fabric-sided openings. The product’s sides are shorter than the minimum side height limit; the sleeping pad’s thickness exceeds the maximum limit; and an infant could fall out of an enclosed opening at the foot of the lounger or become entrapped.
Additionally, the baby nest designs with head pillows violate the Safe Sleep for Babies Act of 2021’s ban on inclined sleepers for infants because their sleep surfaces are inclined greater than ten degrees. Infant fatalities have occurred in inclined sleepers, after the infants rolled from their back to their stomach or side while unrestrained, or under other circumstances.
Infants can suffocate if they roll or move on the crib bumper in a position that obstructs breathing. Padded crib bumpers are banned under the Safe Sleep for Babies Act of 2021.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products has contributed to a decline in the rate of injuries associated with consumer products over the past 50 years.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
