Squeezy Dumplings toys recalled following rash of injuries
New York Post • • business
Key Points:
- The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has recalled approximately 15,200 squishy toys, including Squeezy Dumplings by GIHNJSI and Rainbow Mystery Squishy Buns by OKK Trading, due to choking and intestinal blockage risks from their water bead contents.
- These toys, sold between May and August on Amazon and other retailers, contain water beads that can expand if ingested, posing severe health hazards including choking, intestinal blockage, and even death.
- Customers are advised to mark the recalled toys and containers with "RECALLED," dispose of them, and email photos to the manufacturers for full refunds; however, a similar product from Ivyapingdianpu remains unrecalled despite violating safety standards.
- The CPSC also warned about incidents of burns caused by exploding squishy toys, often due to heat exposure from microwaving or leaving them in hot environments, including a case where a teen was hospitalized after a toy burst inside a hot car.
- Consumers experiencing injuries or defects related to these toys are encouraged to report them to the CPSC for further investigation and action.
