(NEXSTAR) – Popular children’s squeeze toys have been recalled over concerns of serious injury hazards related to the beads within them, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced. The agency is also warning consumers to immediately stop using another similar toy, despite no recall being issued.

Recalls have been issued for Squeezy Dumplings from GIHNJSI and Rainbow Mystery Squishy Buns from OKK Trading.

Both products, pictured below, contain water beads, which, if ingested, could expand within a child’s body, the CPSC explains. This can lead to choking and intestinal obstruction, “resulting in severe discomfort, vomiting, dehydration, and a risk of death to a child.”
