Lima, OH, October 4, 2026 —
ABC Trading has initiated a recall affecting approximately 37,000 squishy toys sold across the United States and at its retail locations in Los Angeles. The affected products include specific models known as dumpling and crazy squib balls.
The primary reason for the recall is the presence of water beads within the toys. These beads have been found to expand beyond established safety standards. The company has stated that this expansion poses a significant risk, presenting a potential choking hazard or the danger of fatal obstruction for children.
Details regarding the specific timeline of when these toys were manufactured or distributed were not immediately available. The recall encompasses products sold nationwide, indicating a broad distribution by ABC Trading. The specific models involved, dumpling and crazy squib balls, are designed as toys for children.
The hazard identified by the company stems from the water beads’ ability to grow in size, thereby increasing the risk of ingestion and subsequent internal complications for young consumers. Consumers who have purchased these toys are advised to be aware of the potential danger.
Information about the exact date the recall was announced, the previous sale period of the toys, or the specific safety standards being exceeded was not provided in the initial summary. The recall applies to products purchased nationwide and specifically at ABC Trading’s Los Angeles stores. The company’s actions follow an assessment of the product’s safety features concerning young users.
