My child is obsessed with squishes. I’ve just seen the news about potential cancer linked to them.
Can anyone confirm if it’s true or not before i throw them all away

Isn't it counterfeit ones that are the problem?

Where are they from? If unbranded or China then they should be thrown away but it’s awful as they are just plastic which will end up piled in landfill potentially leaking toxic stuff’

I'm even if they don't the time wasted and environmental pollution is outrageous. I'm so angry about this trend.
