Emergency room Made Apr 6, 2026, sent to the company Apr 9, 2026, published by CPSC Apr 23, 2026
The product, in the report: Colorful foam floor playmat with 28 interlocking puzzle tiles and pop-out alphabet letters, sold for toddlers and preschoolers ages 3+. Bought in-person at Walmart in Salem, NH for my autistic child. Walmart item #144511168.
The 31st of March I bought an alphabet foam mat at Walmart for my son to play with. When I got home and opened the bag a strong chemical smell like (tobacco and nail remover) came out knocking me out causing doble vision, nausea, headache, watery eyes, dizziness, numb lips, pain in the chest. I could taste the chemical back in my throat as well on my nose. Product: Play Day ABC Foam Playmat Learning Toy Set, 28 Interlocking Pieces (Walmart Item #144511168) Purchased at: Walmart, 326 N Broadway, Salem, NH 03079 (in-person) The problem: Highly toxic chemical fumes on opening. Caused double vision and required an ER visit. Other parents have reported the same chemical smell in Walmarts own product reviews. Walmarts AI-generated review summary literally lists strong chemical smell as a known con of this product.
These foam mats are made of EVA foam, which is known to off-gas a chemical called formamide. The EU classifies formamide as a reproductive toxicant for children. Multiple studies have confirmed that EVA foam mats release formamide at levels that can exceed safety limits. This is not just a strong smell its documented toxic off-gassing from a product marketed to toddlers and preschoolers.
