The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Sep 3, 2024, sent to the company Sep 13, 2024, published by CPSC Sep 27, 2024

    The product, in the report: From website: Have a ball with this Squish N Stretch Gummi Ball. The ball measures 2.36-in. and is available assorted among purple, dark blue, pink, green, red, and light blue. From adults to kids to pets there are very few outdoor activities we take part in that can’t be improved with a good ball. Assortment may vary.

    I bought a pink & purple stretch ball at Dollar Tree. It burst and white foam got all over my 18 month old. I do not know if there is chemicals inside that ball.
