Popular Among Kids and Young Adults, but "Risky Business If Handled Wrong"

"Squishies, Soft on Safety"

Tactile toys known as squishies are all the rage these days.

As their popularity grows, so do safety concerns, but reports show that the regulations themselves are somewhat soft.

Squishies are everywhere among my friends these days.

People say their squishy texture helps relieve stress.

Interest is very high right now, ranging 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 inherently require KC certification.

Yet, simply writing the phrase "for ages 14 and older" reportedly allows products to bypass this procedure.

Consequently, reviews detailing allergic reactions after children touch them are not hard to find.

After all, people often touch their skin or put their hands in their mouths after handling these squishies.

How about paying a little more attention when you make a purchase?
