8 October – Safety alert issued over pimple popping squishies containing needles

A safety alert has been issued about pimple popping squishies containing needles sold via online marketplaces including Amazon, eBay and Wish.

The squishy toys with 'pimples' were supplied with a needle or syringe with a sharp point that could puncture the skin, meaning it carries a risk of injury.

The products have been withdrawn from the online marketplaces, which include Amazon, eBay, Fruugo, OnBuy, AliExpress, Alibaba and Wish.

The toys have the following identifiers:

AliExpress: 1005009515228420, 1005012348368572, 1005011996228107, 1005009032013420, 1005012100519771, 1005012391638677, 1005012285836973, 1005012921330361

Anyone who has bought the toys should stop using them immediately. Do not handle the needle. Place the needle in a puncture-resistant container and secure the lid to prevent the needle from protruding or causing injury and ensure it is kept out of reach of children until it can be disposed of safely.

Contact your local authority for guidance on the safe disposal of sharps in your area. Your local pharmacy or GP surgery may accept sharps for disposal, but check in advance.

It is important these needles are disposed of safely and appropriately, and treated as a sharp, to reduce the risk of injury and potential infection.

1 October – Families warned over dangerous online baby ads

Parents and carers are being warned to be on high alert for online ads promoting baby products that claim to help with colic, reflux, sleep and soothing, after finding ads that promoted potentially dangerous products and practices in ways that could put babies at risk of serious harm or death.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has identified 350 online ads for baby products and services, 59% of which were considered high-risk. A further 60 ads were identified for follow-up action because of the potential risk of physical harm.

The adverts included dangerous claims such as: 

• Claims that lying flat is the problem, with products promoted as a solution by positioning or elevating the baby.
• Claims that sleep or elevation devices can reduce or stop reflux, ease distress, improve sleep or prevent colic.
• Images of babies strapped into potentially unsafe sleep devices.
• Claims relating to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and flat head syndrome, including suggestions that products could reduce associated risks.

NHS guidance and the Lullaby Trust advise that babies should sleep flat on their backs on a firm, flat surface and warn against using inclined or elevated sleep products. 

In addition, the government is warning about unsafe baby sleeping bags that lack arm holes or include a hood, which pose a serious risk of harm to babies.

It said it had published nearly 50 recalls or product safety reports for dangerous baby sleeping bag products since 2023.   

Jessica Tye, regulatory projects manager at the ASA, said: 'Parents may, understandably, be worried and exhausted when their baby is struggling with reflux, colic or not sleeping and may be looking for anything that could help.

'But when an ad takes those worries and uses them to promote a product or practice that could put a baby in danger, it’s unacceptable and something we take very seriously. The ads we identified through our monitoring raised serious concerns for us.'

21 August – Warning over runny eggs due to salmonella outbreak

Certain groups of people are being warned not to eat under-cooked or runny eggs when they are eating out because of a developing salmonella outbreak.

Under fives, over 65s, pregnant women and those with health conditions are being told to avoid them, along with freshly-made products that might contain uncooked eggs, such as mayonnaise, souffle and hollandaise sauce.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said well-cooked eggs in restaurants, cafes and from takeaways were fine to eat.

Professor Ian Young, chief scientific adviser for the FSA said: 'If people are eating out or consuming eggs or egg-containing products from cafes and restaurants then for those people in particular who are young, elderly, pregnant or vulnerable, it's important to make sure that any eggs or egg products that you consume in those settings have been very well cooked.'

He added it was fine for people to buy British eggs from supermarkets as these chickens are vaccinated against common strains of salmonella.

'We continue to advise people who are handling eggs, eggshells or egg packaging to always wash their hands thoroughly with warm water and soap and dry them properly afterwards,' he said.

19 August – Pet food brand Years issues dog food recall over reports of eye issues

Pet food brand Years has issued a recall of all of its fresh meals after it received multiple reports of dogs experiencing sudden, bilateral dry eye. 

Dry eye happens when a dog's eyes stop producing enough tears, which can lead to irritation, redness and discomfort if untreated. 

,Symptoms include excessive blinking or squinting, continuous pawing at the eyes, thick discharge and general discomfort around the eyes.

The brand said an investigation had identified one ingredient – buckwheat – as a potential contributing factor and they were investigating a potential contamination within the buckwheat supply.

It said the recall was a precautionary measure while further testing was ongoing.

As of 16 August, Years said it had received 57 suspected cases out of roughly 40,000 customers (0.1%).

Instructions for customers:

• Stop feeding Years fresh meals immediately, whether your dog is experiencing symptoms or not
• Do not feed the meals to any other dog or animal
• Do not donate or sell the meals
• Subscriptions will be automatically paused, for an initial period of six weeks. The brand plans to reformulate the meals using quinoa in place of buckwheat
• The brand will arrange a free collection of any unused meals and apply a full credit for the order.

If you notice symptoms:

• Contact your vet as soon as possible and mention the recall – early treatment can make a difference.
• Years said it would help the investigation if owners of affected dogs contact the brand via its website or email care@years.com
• Hold on to any unopened or part-used product. Years will arrange a free collection, as part of their investigation.

2 June – Parents warned of unsafe squishy dumpling toys

Trading Standards officers are warning parents about unsafe 'squishy dumpling' toys.

Dangerous counterfeit versions of the toys, which are linked to a TikTok craze, have been found to contain hazardous chemicals.

Swansea Council says it has received complaints about toys giving off a strong chemical smell, described as similar to petrol. Tests on seized products found volatile organic compounds, including ethylbenzene, styrene and xylene isomers, raising significant safety concerns.

Parents are advised to check that toys have:

• Clear safety instructions explaining what to do if the product leaks or is punctured
• A CE or UKCA mark to indicate the product has been safety assessed
• The name and address of a UK-based responsible person, such as an importer or manufacturer

Trading Standards says the name and address of the responsible manufacturer is particularly important because, without it, officers may not be able to trace who is accountable for the product if safety concerns arise.

Rhys Harries, Swansea Council's trading standards officer, said: 'These products are clearly attractive to children because they are being driven by online trends, but that does not mean they are safe.

'When a toy gives off a strong chemical smell and is missing basic safety information, that should ring alarm bells for parents and retailers alike.

'We would urge parents to be cautious, to buy from reputable retailers, and to check for the correct safety markings and supplier details.

'We would also ask businesses to be alert to fast-moving trends and make sure the products they stock meet legal safety requirements.'
