Emirati Alerts on Risks of Squishy Toys
The Child Safety Foundation affiliated with the Sharjah Council has warned against the dangers of "Squishies" and "Slime" toys, especially when misused or made from unsafe materials. It explained that tearing the "Squishie's" packaging or placing it in the microwave can cause it to explode, releasing hot substances that may cause burns. Additionally, its gel-like contents or sand can pose choking hazards or lead to health complications if swallowed or come into contact with the skin. The foundation emphasized that some counterfeit toys lack basic safety information, contain hazardous chemicals, or break down into small parts, posing risks to children. It also warned about the dangers of non-compliant "Slime" products that may contain chemicals exceeding permitted limits. The recommendation is to verify the source of toys, read safety and usage instructions carefully, supervise children during play, and cease using damaged or unreliable toys to ensure their safety.
