Thailand Seizes Squishy Toys Contaminated with Cancer Risk Chemicals The Thai Industrial Standards Institute's (TISI) recent seizure of nearly 20,000 squishy toys highlights a disturbing trend in the global toy industry.
The toys, which have become increasingly popular among children and adults alike, contain chemicals linked to cancer and other health risks. At first glance, these toys seem harmless – even endearing.
But beneath their colorful surfaces, they contain polyurethane, low grade foam, VOCs, and phthalates, all of which are known to pose health risks.
