Product Safety Report: Pimple Popping Squishes containing needles sold via Amazon (2610-0037)
The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has published a product safety report on Pimple Popping Squishes sold via Amazon. These are squishy toys with "pimples" that were sold with syringes or needles. The OPSS says the toy was supplied with a needle or syringe with a sharp point that could puncture the skin. It says this presents a risk of injury. The OPSS also says the product does not meet the Toys Safety Regulations 2011.
The corrective action is that Amazon has removed the listings. The report is dated 8 October 2026 and was published on 9 October 2026. The source gives the country of origin as unknown. It does not give a risk level. It does not name a brand, batch codes or dates. It does not say how many items were sold.
The OPSS lists seven Amazon listings by name and ASIN. 1) "4Pcs Pimple Popping Tool Set, Stress Relief Pimple Popper Tool, Spot Popping Tool Suitable for Relieve Anxiety and Enhance Focus" (B0GF7Q9HF7). 2) "4 PCS Squishy Toy, Sensory Stress Ball for Teen Adults Festival Gift" (B0G9L85KLF). 3) "9 PCS Vacuum Stress Ball Squishy Balls Squishy Stress Balls Fidgets Squishy, Combination Set Stressball Small Bead Squeeze Toy Portable, Fidget Soft Comfortable Reliever,Age15+Teens" (B0F94KBDT8). 4) "Face Pimple Popping Fidget Toy with Pigment (Style 1)" (B0HJ1GH2H8). 5) "Textured Moldable Sensory Fidget Toy For Adults, Portable Stress Relief Hand Reliever, Quiet Calming Tools For Relaxing, Working, Studying, Travel & Daily Use (6PCS)" (B0GVYNFXLB). 6) "15PCS Sensory Ball Making Kit, Create Your Own Soft Mouldable Stress Balls" (B0HFX7BTNM). The report's table lists six listings.
What you can do: Stop using the product immediately. Do not handle the needle. Place the needle in a puncture-resistant container and secure the lid so the needle cannot stick out or cause injury. Keep it out of reach of children until it can be disposed of safely. Check your local authority's website, or contact your local authority, for guidance on safe disposal of sharps in your area. Your local pharmacy or GP surgery may accept sharps, but availability may vary, so check in advance. The OPSS says safe disposal reduces the risk of injury and potential infection. If you feel unwell, contact a doctor or NHS 111.
