The hazard: Choking hazard

The product sheds or contains pieces small enough to choke a young child, which is why the remedy is removal rather than an added warning label.

What the notice says: The squishy bun toys violate the mandatory safety standard for toys because the water beads inside the dumplings expand larger than permitted, posing a deadly ingestion hazard. If a water bead is ingested, it can pose ingestion, choking and intestinal obstruction hazards inside a child's body, resulting in severe discomfort, vomiting, dehydration and a risk of death to a child.

Why it matters: Small parts can come off this product, or it contains pieces small enough to block a young child’s airway. Children under three explore with their mouths, and a blocked airway leaves minutes, not hours.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

If a child is coughing forcefully, let them cough — that clears an object better than anything you can do. If they cannot cough, cry or breathe, call 911 and begin back blows and chest thrusts for an infant, or abdominal thrusts for an older child, if you are trained. After any episode where the object was swallowed rather than spat out, have the child checked: a piece can lodge in the oesophagus without obvious symptoms.

Products covered by this recall

This recall involves Rainbow Mystery Squishy Bun Toys. The squishy bun toys are a translucent green color, containing glitter and water beads.

"Rainbow MYSTERY" and "SUGAR EDITION" are printed on the front of the removable package labeling. There are no markings on the product, other than the cartoon face.

What to do about Choking

Toyworld168 — The product sheds or contains pieces small enough to choke a young child, which is why the remedy is removal rather than an added warning label.

  1. Take the product away from any child under three and check the floor and furniture for pieces that have already come off.
  2. Follow the remedy on this page — most choking recalls are refunded in full.
  3. Refresh infant and child choking first aid if it has been a while; the Red Cross and most hospitals run short courses.
  4. Inspect similar items from the same range or set, since detaching parts usually point to a production problem rather than one bad unit.

If the claim stalls

Most recall claims are paid without argument. The ones that stall usually stall for a reason you can fix.

  • Check you used the recall channel rather than ordinary customer support — the two queues rarely talk to each other.
  • Give it ten working days, then chase in writing and quote your claim reference.
  • If the company is unresponsive or has stopped trading, report it to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, and try the retailer in parallel.
  • Paid by card? A chargeback for goods that are unfit for sale is a legitimate fallback once the company has had a fair chance.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should stop using the squishy dumpling toys immediately and contact Toyworld168 for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to write "RECALLED" in permanent marker on the squeezy dumpling and its tan plastic container, throw the toy away and email a photo of the disposed toy to [email protected].
