US Consumer Product Safety Commission Recalls Over 121,000 Children's Squeeze Toys Due to Asbestos Risk
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall for more than 121,000 children's squeeze toys sold at Walmart and Ollie's Bargain Outlet due to the risk of asbestos exposure. The toys, known as 'Orb Funkee' squeeze toys, may contain fibrous tremolite, a form of asbestos, in the sand filling. This poses a serious health risk if inhaled. The recall specifically targets two models: the 'Orb Funkee Gold Jumbo Monkee' and the 'Orb Funkee Monkee' in various colors. These toys were manufactured by The Orb Factory Limited in Canada and produced in China. The affected products were sold nationwide from February 2025 through April 2026. Consumers are advised to stop using the toys immediately and contact The Orb Factory for a refund. The company has provided instructions for safe disposal of the toys, especially if they have been damaged or the sand has leaked.
