CPSC recalls about 15,200 children's squishy toys over water bead hazard
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced two recalls on Sept. 3 covering roughly 15,200 children's squishy toys that contain water beads capable of expanding inside the body if swallowed, creating choking and intestinal obstruction risks [1][3]. The recalls involve about 8,000 GIHNJSI Squeezy Dumplings, described as translucent round squishy balls, and Rainbow Mystery Squishy Bun Toys from OKK Trading [1][3]. Separately, the CPSC announced a recall of Baby Sesame Street Elmo Silicone Teethers made by Skip Hop Inc., sold in stores and online between January 2025 and March 2026, after the black eyes were found to detach when the teether is frozen, posing a choking hazard [2].
