Another safety issue with a popular toy.

Does your child love these squishy dumplings? They’re the latest craze – with unboxing videos gaining millions of views.

But their popularity and high demand mean lots of fakes are now available to buy. And the counterfeit versions may contain harmful levels of dangerous chemicals.

✅ Buy from trusted retailers if you can – fakes may not meet our safety standards
✅ Check for proper labelling – missing safety information is a sign it’s fake
✅ If the toy is damaged, leaking or smells unusual, stop using it
✅ Avoid buying for under 3s - they’re most at risk from dangerous toys.
