UK OPSS alert: Needle-containing pimple-popping stress toy sold on OnBuy poses puncture risk

The UK OPSS issued a product safety alert for the Pimple Popping Squishes stress-relief toy sold on the OnBuy platform. The toy is supplied with sharp needles or syringes that may puncture the skin and cause injury, and it does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011. OnBuy has removed the product listings. OPSS advises consumers to stop using the toy immediately, avoid handling the needles with bare hands, place them in a puncture-resistant container kept out of children’s reach, and dispose of them safely in accordance with local guidance.
