Two types of viral squishy toys sold nationwide were recalled this week because of a potentially deadly hazard to children, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
California-based ABC Trading recalled roughly 37,000 of its squishy dumpling and crazy squib ball toys because the water beads inside the toys can expand larger than permitted by the mandatory safety standard for toys, USCPSC said in the recall notice posted on Oct. 1.
The recalled squishy dumplings are model 3655 of the toy and come in multiple translucent colors. Inside them are glitter and hazardous water beads. A cartoon face is printed on the toy and they are packaged in a tan plastic container shaped like a bamboo steamer.
Squishy buns like those recalled have become very popular among kids and are frequently featured in viral “unboxing” videos where people guess the color of the mystery squishy bun before opening its faux bamboo steamer.

They come individually wrapped in a white netting and the packaging says ‘CRAZY SQUIB BALL’ and ‘Squeeze it! Throw it!’ on the front.

Anyone with the recalled toys should stop using them immediately and contact ABC Trading for a full refund, the recall states. If you have the recalled toys, USCPSC asks you write “RECALLED” in permanent marker on it, throw it in the trash and email a photo of the disposed toy to recallabc@gmail.com.
No injuries have been reported as of the publication of this article.
