    The product, in the report: Foodie fusion smooshy s’mores squishy toy. JARU #6726, Mfg by JARU INC, Jacksonville, Fla 32258

    My granddaughter was squeezing squishy “toy”, and it exploded in her face and eyes .

    (07/28/2026) I filed a report about an incident that happened to my 7-year-old granddaughter. After a purchase of a squishy toy from a campground store, her mother was driving on the way home, and she heard a blood curdling scream from the rear seat and a squishy toy had exploded in my granddaughter’s face covering her with this gooey liquid that looked like pancake syrup. My daughter was in the middle of the highway she had to pull over risking her life to being hit by a car to rescue my granddaughter who was covered in this chemical goo from the squishy toy. My question is why are these products even allowed on our shelves? Does the consumer product safety commission review any of these products? And you know if you look at the tag it says it complies with blah blah blah whatever, why is this garbage from China allowed in the United States? It’s all about money. It’s all about profits and I noticed that the consumer product safety commission only has one person on it as a commissioner and because of political BS we have a lack of coverage which has been going on for years. I won’t blame it on the current administration only, but this is nonsense. There’s so many dangerous pieces of garbage coming from China that are filled with chemicals. You read about them everyday. People getting chemical burns on their face. These little children it’s disgusting. Thanks for listening

  2. Emergency room

    Made Dec 26, 2025, sent to the company Dec 30, 2025, published by CPSC Jan 14, 2026

    The product, in the report: The product is a childrens novelty snap-bracelet style toy with a decorative molded rubber or vinyl outer covering and an internal metal snap mechanism. The toy is shaped like a winged creature (dragon or bat-like) and is designed to wrap around a wrist or arm when bent or snapped. The toy measures approximately the length of a childs forearm when fully extended and is flexible due to the internal metal snap strip. The outer surface is soft to the touch but encloses a rigid metal component that causes the toy to snap into a curved shape when flexed. The product is intended to be handled and worn as a bracelet during play. The underside of the toy is marked with the text YARU and CHINA. No age warning, safety labeling, or importer information was observed on the product itself. Two identical toys were purchased, and the incident involved one of them.

    This snap-bracelet style childrens toy was being used by my 2-year-old son during normal play. The toy is a novelty bracelet with a decorative rubber/vinyl outer shaped like a dragon covering an internal metal snap mechanism.

    During normal handling and play, the outer rubber/vinyl covering on the toy tore open, creating a hole and exposing the internal metal snap strip. Once exposed, the metal edges became sharp.

    While my son was holding the toy, the exposed metal edge caused a laceration to his hand. The injury required emergency medical treatment, including stitches.

    The toy does not appear to have been misused, altered, or subjected to excessive force. The failure occurred during foreseeable use by a young child. The injury resulted directly from the internal metal snapping mechanism tearing through the outer covering and becoming exposed.

    The toy is marked YARU and CHINA. Two identical toys were purchased, and the failure occurred on one of them. The incident raised concern that the product presents a laceration hazard to children if the outer covering fails and exposes the internal metal component.

    The product, in the report: The product is the 1 piece Smoosh mesh ball PopUp OoZy Blobs Dual Color. It was blue on the outside and orange on the inside (the orange inside material is what exploded all over). Distributed by: Midwood Brands, LLC 500 Volvo Parkway, Chesapeake, VA 23320 USA

    My 12 year old son was using the Smoosh mesh ball PopUp OoZy Blobs, and within 10 minutes of using this product after opening the package it then broke and exploded all over his arms and hands and face and clothing and the carpet. He had skin irritation and anxiety. He washed it off immediately with soap and took a shower.
