A popular squishy toy has been urgently recalled after it was discovered it contains a toxic chemical that can cause cancer.
Squishy Dumplings became a viral craze with kids collecting the soft bao buns, always striving for the ultra-rare shiny versions.
But now the cute toys, manufactured in China, have been urgently recalled after they were found to present a ‘serious chemical risk’.
The outer layer of the smiling dumplings, sold by Samsons Cash and Carry, actually contain an excess concentration of benzene.
If inhaled, benzene can cause irritation to the eyes, nose and throat. Exposure to large amounts may also cause a burning feeling throughout the digestive tract and skin irritation.
