The hazard: Choking hazard

Small parts that can detach prompted this recall. The test the CPSC applies is whether a piece fits inside a cylinder roughly the size of a young child’s throat.

What the notice says: The recalled teething toys violate the mandatory safety standard for toys because the silicone strings are smaller and longer than permitted. The silicone strings can reach the back of the throat and become lodged, posing a risk of respiratory distress and a deadly choking hazard.

Why it matters: Small parts can come off this product, or it contains pieces small enough to block a young child’s airway. Children under three explore with their mouths, and a blocked airway leaves minutes, not hours.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

If a child is coughing forcefully, let them cough — that clears an object better than anything you can do. If they cannot cough, cry or breathe, call 911 and begin back blows and chest thrusts for an infant, or abdominal thrusts for an older child, if you are trained. After any episode where the object was swallowed rather than spat out, have the child checked: a piece can lodge in the oesophagus without obvious symptoms.

What to do about Choking

SHEIN Distribution Corporation — Small parts that can detach prompted this recall. The test the CPSC applies is whether a piece fits inside a cylinder roughly the size of a young child’s throat.

  1. Take the product away from any child under three and check the floor and furniture for pieces that have already come off.
  2. Inspect similar items from the same range or set, since detaching parts usually point to a production problem rather than one bad unit.
  3. Do not hand it down to a younger sibling or drop it at a charity shop.
  4. Follow the remedy on this page — most choking recalls are refunded in full.

Claiming your refund, repair or replacement

The recalling company decides the remedy and funds it. You should never pay for a recall repair or for return shipping.

  • Use the company contact on this page first. Most firms run a dedicated recall page with a claim form that is far quicker than their main support line.
  • If the company stops responding, escalate to the CPSC. Firms under a recall order have reporting duties to the agency.
  • Have the model number, the date code and your photos ready. Many companies issue store credit by default — ask for cash or a card reversal if you would rather have it.
  • No receipt? Say so. Recall refunds are routinely paid without proof of purchase, because the hazard is what triggers the obligation.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should stop using the recalled teething toys immediately, take them away from children, and contact SHEIN for a refund. Consumers will be asked to cut the teething toy’s silicone strings and send a photo of the destroyed toy to [email protected]. Consumers should then dispose of the destroyed product.

Company contact: SHEIN toll-free at 833-853-8668 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, by email at [email protected], or online at https://us.shein.com/product-recalls/list or https://us.shein.com and click on "Product Recalls" at the bottom of the page for more information.
