2026-02-12 – A child sustained minor injuries after a squishy toy purchased at Walgreens reportedly contained glass shards, according to a hazard report filed with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The incident involved the iRRE-Suish-tible SQWEEZY Duck 4536, manufactured by JA-RU INC, and was categorized as a laceration hazard. The report was logged in the CPSC's SaferProducts.gov database. Product DetailsBrand Name: iRRE-Suish-tible Incident OverviewAccording to the CPSC report filed on January 6, 2026, a consumer purchased the JA-RU iRRESQUISHTIBLE SQWEEZY DUCK toy (model 4536) from a Walgreens store. Upon the child opening the toy and beginning to squeeze it, a sharp piece of glass and additional glass shards were discovered on the tail end of the duck. The consumer immediately contacted the manufacturer by phone and email on the same day to report the hazard and share photographic evidence. As of the date of the report, JA-RU, Inc. had not responded to the consumer's communications. The incident highlights a manufacturing defect that introduced foreign glass fragments into a children's toy. The product was used as intended—squeezing—when the hazard became apparent. The consumer retained the packaging and documented the incident with photographs. No prior issues with the product were reported by the consumer. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: Glass shards embedded in a squeezable toy can cause deep cuts or puncture wounds upon contact, especially when the toy is compressed and the sharp edges are exposed. Children are particularly vulnerable as they may squeeze the toy with force, increasing the risk of laceration to hands, fingers, or other body parts. Long-Term Risks: If glass fragments are not fully removed from the toy, they may dislodge during future use, posing repeated laceration hazards. Additionally, small glass pieces could become airborne or fall onto surfaces, creating a risk of injury to others in the household. Who Might Be Affected: The primary affected group is children who handle the toy, but parents, siblings, or anyone else in proximity could also be injured if shards scatter or are inadvertently touched. The hazard is acute for young children who may not recognize the danger. Warning Signs: Visible glass protrusions or glitter-like particles on the toy's surface may indicate contamination. However, in this incident, the glass was not apparent until the toy was squeezed, suggesting that internal fragments may be hidden until pressure is applied. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: Cease all use of the iRRE-Suish-tible SQWEEZY Duck 4536 and keep it away from children to prevent further injury. Consumers who suffered injury or property damage may wish to consult a product liability attorney to discuss their legal options.
