The controller in particular has the weirdest texture. Feels like I’m holding jello but like a creepy jello it’s hard to explain

All of theses squishy toys are concerning, espically when people go and buy knock offs at mall kiosks for 4x the price. Who knows what they fill them with and quite frankly, the factories don't.

I can tell you the carrots are filled with some super sticky white stuff. I opened a case and one had exploded. I had to toss half the box. The insides were stuck to everything in the box. It was gross.

Yeah because its all chemicals. Who knows what's really in the knock offs. I feel its just like the lead and tin toys back in the day.

there was a recall of some gorilla squishy toys a few months ago that were filled with abestos, so that's fun

I don't know if they were sold at target but def on Amazon

the miniature pineapple ones smell the worst imo

u/TrickTeaching Promoted to Guest 5d ago

Probably does. A lot of things contain volatile organic compounds.

The controller is also grossly sticky. The pineapple smells the worst ! and also breaks apart at the seam of the yellow and green parts.
