CPSC Recall: SHEIN Spiral Toys Pose Choking Hazard for Children Under 3
The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall on September 3, 2026, for SHEIN Spiral Toys — approximately 963 units sold on SHEIN.com between September 2025 and May 2026. The toys contain small ball components that can detach during use, violating the federal small parts ban and creating a choking hazard for children under 3 years old.
If you ordered toys from SHEIN in that window, it's worth checking your order history. The recalled items were sold for approximately $6 to $16 each. SHEIN is offering a full refund to customers who purchased the affected products.

The recalled products are described as Spiral Toys — coil or spring-style toys with small ball components at the ends or throughout the design. The small balls can separate from the toy during normal play, creating a part small enough to be swallowed or inhaled by a young child.
Federal regulations under 16 CFR 1501 prohibit toys intended for children under 3 from containing small parts due to the choking risk. The recalled SHEIN Spiral Toys did not meet that standard. No injuries had been reported at the time the recall was issued.
What to Do
Stop using the toy immediately. The CPSC recommends removing it from your child's reach and contacting SHEIN for a refund.
