What this means

Joyin's Sloosh dive sticks (model 40041) are too hard and can cause serious piercing injuries if children fall or land on them in shallow water. Facial and eye injuries are also possible when retrieving sticks underwater. These sticks violate federal safety standards for dive toys.

  • Stop letting children use the recalled dive sticks immediately.
  • Take the sticks away from children and throw them out.
  • Take a photo of the disposed sticks in the trash.
  • Email the photo to support@joyin.com to receive safe replacement sticks.

The agency's original wording
Hazard

The recalled dive sticks violate the federal dive sticks ban because they exceeded the compress limit, posing an impalement hazard. In shallow water, children may fall or land on a dive stick, resulting in serious piercing injuries. Facial and eye injuries are also possible when children attempt to retrieve the sticks underwater.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the recalled dive sticks immediately, take them away from children and dispose of them. Consumers will be asked to take a photo of the disposed dive sticks in the trash and email it to Joyin at support@joyin.com. Once received, Joyin will send the consumer redesigned dive sticks that meet federal regulations.
