OKK Rainbow Mystery Squishy Bun Toys Recalled — Water Beads Pose Serious Ingestion Risk
OKK Trading is recalling about 7,200 Rainbow Mystery Squishy Bun Toys because the water beads inside expand to a size that violates the mandatory safety standard for toys. If a child swallows one of these beads, the consequences can be severe — including intestinal obstruction, severe discomfort, vomiting, dehydration, and a risk of death.
This is a recall that Colorado Springs parents and families should take seriously, particularly given how visually appealing squishy toys can be to young children.

Advertise hereWhat the Toy Looks Like
The recalled product is the Rainbow Mystery Squishy Bun Toy, model D08004. It's a translucent pink squishy toy filled with glitter and water beads that give it a colorful, sparkly appearance. The toy resembles a small dumpling or bun — soft, squeezable, and visually engaging to children of all ages.
The problem is in the water beads. These beads are designed to absorb liquid and expand over time. The mandatory toy safety standard sets a size limit on how much expansion is permitted — and the beads in this product exceed that limit. A small bead that looks safe to pick up can expand significantly after being swallowed, potentially becoming large enough to cause a blockage in a child's intestines. That kind of obstruction can require surgery to treat.
Who Sold It and When
The toys were sold at various third-party stores nationwide from May through August 2026. No specific retailer is identified as the exclusive seller, which means these toys may have been available through multiple online platforms or specialty toy stores. The CPSC has not reported any injuries associated with this recall.
If you're not sure whether you have this specific product, look for the model number D08004 on the toy or its packaging, or look for a translucent pink squishy toy with visible colorful glitter and bead-like interior fill.
What to Do Right Now
Stop using the toy immediately and remove it from children's reach. The CPSC and OKK Trading ask that you write "RECALLED" in permanent marker on both the squishy bun toy and its tan plastic container, then throw both items in the trash. To receive a full refund, take a photo of the disposed toy and email it to recall@okktoys.com. You should not need to ship the product.

What's Next
Water bead toys have been the subject of multiple CPSC recalls and safety warnings in recent years. The CPSC has issued broader guidance advising that water bead products should be kept away from children under 3 and used only under close supervision by older children. If you have other squishy toys or water bead kits in your home, it's a good time to review them against the CPSC recall database at cpsc.gov/Recalls. Subscribing to CPSC recall alerts is free and ensures you're notified when new products are flagged — a small step that can make a meaningful difference.
