Dumpling squishy toys are small, soft toys shaped like dumplings or bread. They have become very popular on TikTok and YouTube with millions of views on unboxing videos. These toys are sold in 'blind boxes', which means you don't know which toy you're getting until you open the box. However, some local councils in the UK are warning that some dumpling squishy toys are not safe. Some of these toys are fake and have failed health and safety checks. Councils are advising people to be careful if the toys have a strong smell, are leaking, don't have clear labels, are very cheap, or look like they're not well-made. People should only buy these toys from trusted sellers and look for the CE or UKCA symbols, which show that the toy meets important safety rules. If a toy is damaged, leaking, or has a strange smell, it's best to stop using it.
