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.'

29 May – Maxi Cosi recalls Family Fix Slide Pro Isofix Base

Maxi-Cosi is voluntarily recalling Family Fix Slide Pro Isofix Base manufactured in China between 6 September 2025 and 24 March 2026.

The car seat base can pose a risk of injuries to children because of a malfunctioning safety indicator, which can falsely indicate the seat is connected when it is actually not. 

This could cause the seat to move or detach, potentially injuring the occupant.

Anyone with this car seat base can use the Maxi Cosi online tool to check if their model is affected, and if so, they should stop using it immediately and wait for a new one to be sent from Maxi Cosi. 

For more information, read our safety alert and see the recall notice on the Maxi Cosi website.

28 April – Precautionary recall of antidepressant medication due to manufacturing error 

A batch of antidepressant medication is being recalled as a precaution, due to a manufacturing error.

The patient follows a patient complaint about a pack of Sertraline 100mg film-coated tablets, which were found to contain some Citalopram 40mg film-coated tablets instead.

Sertraline and citalopram are both used to treat depression, anxiety disorders and related mental health conditions.

Both medications are produced by the same manufacturer, at the same site, and the error appears to have occurred during packaging of the blister strips into the cartons.   

Patients who believe they have already taken any Citalopram 40mg tablets by mistake or are experiencing side effects, are advised to seek medical advice immediately. 

Dr Alison Cave,  chief safety officer of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), said: 'If you have been prescribed Sertraline 100mg tablets and have received batch number V2500425, please check the carton contains the right medication. You can find the batch number and expiry date printed on the side of the outer packaging. 

'If the blister strips inside the carton are labelled Citalopram 40mg, please contact your pharmacy as soon as possible. If they are labelled Sertraline 100mg, no further action is needed.

'Patients who have accidentally taken citalopram instead of – or as well as – sertraline, may experience some heightened serotonergic side effects. These can include nausea, headache, sleep changes, and mild anxiety.'
