Safety & Allergy Information

Materials and Product Composition

Our soft squeeze toys are manufactured using a combination of synthetic materials selected for their texture, flexibility, and appearance. Depending on the design, construction may include thermoplastic rubber, polypropylene, polyurethane, other plastic compounds, and colorants. Certain models may contain a flexible internal filling, such as soft gel, decorative glitter suspended in gel, water beads, or air. The exact materials and internal structure can vary between individual products.

Although these materials are commonly used in consumer goods, individual reactions and sensitivities may differ. No material can be assumed to be suitable for every person. Anyone with a known sensitivity to synthetic rubber, plastics, plasticizers, artificial colorants, or related substances should avoid handling products that may trigger a reaction.

Our products are not represented as latex-free, fragrance-free, or hypoallergenic. If you need further information about the composition of a particular item before placing an order, please contact [email protected]. We will provide the material information available for the specific product whenever possible.

Skin Sensitivity and Safe Handling

Squishy toys are often held, pressed, and manipulated repeatedly, sometimes for extended periods. Frequent or prolonged contact with plastic or rubber materials may cause discomfort in people with sensitive skin. Possible reactions include dryness, redness, itching, irritation, or a rash. In uncommon cases, contact with a material may contribute to an allergic skin reaction.

To help reduce unnecessary exposure, wash your hands after handling a squishy and before eating. Avoid using the toy on skin that is damaged, inflamed, irritated, or recently shaved. Do not keep the product pressed against your skin while sleeping, and avoid placing it close to your eyes or directly against your face.

When introducing a new squeeze toy to a child, supervise the initial periods of use and watch for any signs of discomfort. If the child develops redness, itching, or another unexpected reaction, discontinue use immediately. Children should not be allowed to place the toy in their mouths, chew it, or use it in ways that could damage its outer surface.

Everyone responds differently to materials, and taking these precautions cannot eliminate every possible risk. If you are uncertain whether a particular product is appropriate for someone with sensitive skin, seek suitable professional advice before use.

What to Do if Skin Irritation Occurs

If irritation develops after contact with a squishy toy, stop using the product immediately and move it away from the affected person. If a child is involved, make sure the toy is removed from their reach so that contact does not continue.

Gently wash the affected area using mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid vigorous rubbing, harsh cleansers, or other products that could further irritate the skin. Observe the affected area and seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional, especially if symptoms persist, worsen, or appear unusual.

Certain symptoms require urgent attention. Difficulty breathing, swelling involving the face or mouth, or a burn should be treated as a medical emergency. Contact local emergency services if any of these symptoms occur.

Please report suspected product-related reactions to [email protected]. When possible, include the product details, a description of what happened, and any relevant information about the circumstances of use. Reports help us document concerns and investigate whether a particular product or production batch may require further review. Do not continue using a product that appears to have caused a reaction while the concern is being assessed.

Temperature Limits and Heat Hazards

Squishy toys are intended for use under ordinary indoor conditions. They are not designed to withstand extreme heat or freezing temperatures. Exposing them to unsuitable temperatures can damage the outer material, change the texture, or compromise the product’s structure.

Never place a squishy in a microwave, boiling water, or on a radiator. Avoid leaving it on a sunlit windowsill, inside a parked vehicle exposed to sunlight, or near other sources of intense heat. Do not place the toy in a freezer or deliberately expose it to freezing conditions.

Excessive heat may soften, deform, or melt parts of the product. If heated material adheres to the skin, removing it can be difficult and may result in burns. Freezing may make certain materials less flexible and more likely to crack or split when squeezed.

For safer storage, keep your squishy in a dry location at normal room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heaters, and other temperature extremes. If the material becomes unusually soft, brittle, sticky, or visibly damaged following temperature exposure, discontinue use rather than attempting to restore it through heating, cooling, or other treatments.

Damaged Toys, Splits, and Leaking Contents

A squishy may become damaged if it is overstretched, punctured, squeezed against a sharp object, or subjected to repeated pressure beyond what its construction can withstand. Damage may expose internal filling materials that are not intended to come into contact with the skin, eyes, or mouth.

If a toy splits or begins leaking, immediately remove it from children and pets. Do not squeeze it further, attempt to inspect the inside by hand, or allow anyone to play with the damaged item. Prevent the released contents from contacting the eyes or mouth, and rinse any affected skin thoroughly with water.

If material enters the eyes, rinse carefully with clean running water for several minutes and seek medical advice. If any internal contents are swallowed, contact a qualified medical professional or your local poison control service for guidance. Do not assume that the material is harmless simply because the toy is designed for ordinary handling.

Clean any affected surface carefully, avoiding direct contact with the leaked contents. Place the damaged toy in a suitable bag and dispose of it according to local household waste requirements. Do not attempt to patch, glue, reseal, or otherwise repair a split squishy, as a repaired item may remain unsafe for continued use.

Routine Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular inspection and gentle cleaning can help keep a squishy in better condition. For routine cleaning, wipe the outside with a soft cloth lightly dampened with water. Allow the product to air-dry completely before storing it or handling it again. Do not submerge the toy unless the specific product instructions explicitly permit it.

Do not put squeeze toys in a washing machine or dishwasher. Avoid bleach, solvents, alcohol-based cleaning products, abrasive powders, and other harsh substances that may damage the surface, affect the color, or weaken the material.

Keep the toy away from sharp fingernails, jewellery, rough surfaces, and objects that could puncture or tear its shell. Pets should not be allowed to bite, chew, or play with the product, since their teeth and claws can cause damage that may not be immediately obvious.

Inspect your squishy periodically for changes in its condition. Signs such as cracks, discoloration, a sticky surface, unusual texture changes, visible wear, or leaking indicate that the item should no longer be used. Do not continue squeezing a product that appears deteriorated, even if the damage seems minor.

Before giving a toy to a child, remove and discard all external packaging and keep any loose packaging materials out of reach. Check the product for visible damage and ensure that the child understands it is a squeeze toy rather than something to eat or chew.

General Safety Guidance

Squishy toys are intended for gentle recreational use and decorative enjoyment. They should not be cut open, deliberately damaged, heated, frozen, or used in ways that differ from their intended purpose. Children should be supervised as appropriate for their age and ability, and damaged products should always be removed from use.

Individual products may differ in their materials and construction, so customers should consider the specific item before use, particularly when sensitivities or other safety concerns are involved. If you have questions about product composition, safe handling, cleaning, or a possible reaction, please contact [email protected] for assistance.

Taking care of a squishy, storing it appropriately, and checking its condition regularly can help reduce avoidable risks and support a more enjoyable experience. Safety should always take priority over continued use whenever a product shows signs of damage or causes discomfort.
