More than 15,000 children’s squishy toys recalled over deadly water bead hazard
Federal regulators said the toys can swell inside a child’s body if swallowed, and no injuries have been reported.
- The Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled more than 15,000 children's squishy toys over serious injury hazards involving internal water beads, though no injuries have been reported.
- Water beads pose "ingestion, choking, and intestinal obstruction hazards" if swallowed because they can expand inside a child's body, the CPSC warned, creating risk of severe discomfort or death.
- Recalls cover about 8,000 Squeezy Dumplings from GIHNJSI and approximately 7,200 Rainbow Mystery Squishy Bun Toys from OKK Trading, sold through Amazon and third-party retailers from May through August.
- Consumers should immediately stop using the toys; the CPSC said owners must write "RECALLED" on the product and container, discard it, and email a photo to the company for a refund.
- Separately, the CPSC issued a warning for about 106 Squishy Bun Toys from Ivyapingdianpu, which has not agreed to recall the products despite receiving a Notice of Violation.
