@joshlynn888 omg we sell them at my store. i will warn any parents who are looking at them. that might be against company policy but as a parent i couldnt care less. thank you so much for posting.
@joshlynn888 Oops! There’s one under the tree already. Oh well my youngest is almost 6 and pretty gentle but I’ll keep an eye out. Thank you for the warning
@joshlynn888 My wife and I are banning those type of toys in our house. After having them explode and shooting tiny gooey beads everywhere we are done with them. I had a stress ball in my car that also exploded in the winter because it got frozen. Never again.
@lightbringer72 That's what I was thinking. That alone would probably inspire any normally-reasonable kid to "investigate": looks like boba, feels like boba, must be boba?
Are tapioca pearls sticky? Can't we all just play with them?
@joshlynn888 I appreciate the heads up, they’re commonly sold at target and my son loves these things but is also the kind of kid that acts like a goat and will eat anything that looks tasty and will fit in his mouth, especially things like orbites or balls.
@joshlynn888 Wow, thanks for this post! I had bought one for my son thinking it was a stretch Armstrong type of deal (obviously I didn't look too closely). I'll be returning and replacing with something else.
@joshlynn888 My daughter has one, I didn’t know that’s a safety hazard. I’m going to throw it away. I’d she asks about it I’ll tell her the monster under her bed wants his toy back
@joshlynn888 Ever since they were sold I refused any offers of them for my kids. If they received a squishy toy with them, in the trash it goes at the slightest hint of wear. I saw how fast they expanded and said a hard no.
