SloveniaPopular soft plastic toys known as 'Squeezy Dumplings' have been recalled due to high levels of benzene, a carcinogenic chemical, found in their outer plastic layer. The UK's product safety authority issued a warning, urging parents to stop children from playing with these toys immediately. These counterfeit versions, produced in China, mimic the popular original toys made by RMS/Crazy Fun but lack proper safety certifications and identification markings. Benzene exposure can cause severe irritation to the eyes, nose, throat, and skin, and long-term exposure increases cancer risk. The original toys are safe, but the counterfeit versions pose serious health risks.
