ABC Trading's Squishy Dumpling and Crazy Squib Ball squeeze toys, sold at ABC Trading stores in Los Angeles and other stores nationwide, contain glitter and water beads. The water beads expand larger than the mandatory toy standard allows; if swallowed, they can cause choking and intestinal obstruction, posing a risk of death to a child.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the squishy toys immediately and contact ABC Trading for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to write "RECALLED" in permanent marker on the squishy toys, throw the toy away and email a photo of the disposed toy to recallabc@gmail.com.

Hazard

If a water bead is ingested, it can pose ingestion, choking, and intestinal obstruction hazards inside a child's body, resulting in severe discomfort, vomiting, dehydration and a risk of death to a child.
