Squishy Dumpling Toys are being recalled because they contain water beads that pose a serious ingestion hazard. The beads inside the toys expand larger than permitted, which can cause choking and intestinal obstruction hazards in a child’s body. This can cause severe discomfort, vomiting, dehydration, and a risk of death. No injuries have been reported to date. The recalling firm is the importer, ABC Trading of Vernon, California. The toys were manufactured in China.
The recall is for Squishy Dumpling Toys and Crazy Squib Ball Toys. The dumplings, model number 3655, are in multiple translucent colors, containing glitter and water beads. The toys have a cartoon face and are packaged in a tan plastic container shaped like a bamboo steamer. “SQUISHY DUMPLING” is printed on the front of the removable package labeling. There are no markings on the product, other than the cartoon face. The crazy squib balls, model 3984, come in multiple translucent colors, containing glitter and water beads. The toys are individually wrapped in a white netting. “CRAZY SQUIB BALL” and “Squeeze it! Throw it!” are printed on the front of the package labeling.
These toys were sold at ABC Trading stores in Los Angeles, California and other stores nationwide from April 2026 through June 2026. The cost was between 41 cents and $1.25. About 37,000 units of these toys are included in the recall.
If you purchased these products, stop using them immediately and take them away from children. Contact ABC Trading for a full refund. You will be asked to write “RECALLED” in permanent marker on the squishy toys, throw the toy away, and email a photo of the disposed toy to the company.
