Summary by Recall Canary from the CPSC notice
What happened
Target is recalling the Gigglescape Under the Sea Popping Toy because the clear plastic dome can detach from the blue plastic base, making the small plastic balls inside the toy accessible to children, posing a choking hazard. Target is aware of nine reports of the dome detaching, with one report of a child that began to choke.
The recall involves about 49,000 toys, which were sold at Target stores nationwide from August 2025 through January 2026 for about $10. The toys were made in China and imported by Target, of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The recalled toys have a clear plastic dome attached to a blue plastic base shaped like a whale, with colored balls inside the dome that pop up when a child pushes an external plunger at the top. The Gigglescape brand is printed on the front of the package and imprinted on the bottom of the blue plastic base. Consumers should stop using the recalled toy immediately and return it to any Target store for a full refund or contact Target to receive a prepaid return label to return the toy by mail.
