Popular Among Kids and Adults Alike, but 'Handle With Care'

"Squishies, but Soft on Safety"

Tactile toy squishies are all the rage these days.

As their popularity grows, so do safety concerns, but reports show that the regulations governing them are somewhat lax.

Everyone around me seems to be carrying squishies these days.

People say the soft, squishy texture helps relieve stress.

They are currently enjoying huge popularity among everyone from elementary school students to people in their 20s and 30s.

However, the problem is that safety standards are failing to keep up with this popularity.

Children's toys typically require KC certification.

Yet, simply writing "for ages 14 and older" on the product reportedly allows manufacturers to bypass that process.

Consequently, it is not uncommon to find reviews from parents saying their children developed allergies after touching them.

People often touch their skin or put their hands in their mouths after playing with these squishies.

Perhaps you should exercise a little more caution when making a purchase.
