The pacifiers, which measure 2.5 inches wide by 1.5 inches tall, have a beige rubber nipple and two air holes that are approximately .125 inches in diameter situated on each side of the nipple. A label on the pacifiers' back shield reads, in part, "MADE IN CHINA 1986 Paci-face, Inc. Patent pending."

The pacifiers were sold by Target Stores nationwide and other retailers from January 1994 to June 1994 for about $3.00.
