Product Details

Brand Name: [REDACTED] Cute bear
Manufacturer: Guangzhou Chan Ying Electronic Commerce Co., Ltd
Retailer: AliExpress
Incident Report Number: 5997436
Severity Type Name: First Aid Received by Non-Medical Professional
Severity Type ID: 7

Incident Overview

According to the CPSC report, the consumer received the stuffed bear on Friday, April 10, 2026, and immediately noticed a strong chemical and acetone smell emanating from the product. Two days later, on Sunday, April 12, the consumer's child left the bear next to a [REDACTED] object. When the child picked up the bear and squeezed it, the gel inside suddenly exploded out, striking the child's right arm.

The expelled gel caused a second-degree burn on the child's arm, requiring first aid from a non-medical professional. The reporter noted the strong chemical odor upon delivery, which may have been an early warning sign of the product's instability. The bear was used as intended—squeezed by a child—indicating the failure occurred during normal handling. The incident report did not specify whether the product was retained or discarded, but the consumer provided detailed observations about the smell and the explosive nature of the gel.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: The gel inside the bear can explode upon squeezing, releasing chemical contents that can cause second-degree burns. The force of the expulsion may also pose a projectile risk to the eyes or face of the user or bystanders.

Long-Term Risks: Chemical burns may lead to scarring, infection, or nerve damage if not properly treated. Repeated exposure to the gel's chemical components could cause sensitization or allergic reactions.

Who Might Be Affected: Children are most at risk because they are likely to squeeze or play with stuffed toys. Parents, caregivers, or siblings nearby could also be injured by the exploding gel.

Warning Signs: A strong chemical or acetone smell from the product is a critical warning sign that the gel may be unstable or leaking. Consumers should immediately stop using any toy with an unusual odor.
