Question from Adrian
Hi Debra,
I was just wondering how safe you think the new kids craze of squishies are? My children really love them! I worked with polyurethane for years and wore air fed respirators but still have sensitivity to it. I can smell the isocyanate in the toys and it gives me an instant headache. What are your thoughts?
Debra’s Answer
Children should NOT be playing with squishes!
It’s interesting that you say you can smell the isocyanate. It’s supposed to completely react and not emit. I’ll look into this more. So just because of that I would say no.
But in addition I see they are SCENTED. So that would be another reason not to play with them or even have them in the house as a decoration.
