Orb Funkee Squeeze Toys Recalled Due to Asbestos Exposure Risk
The Orb Factory is recalling approximately 121,340 Orb Funkee squeeze toys (model 17451 and 41929) because the sand filling may contain fibrous tremolite asbestos. No illnesses have been reported, but inhalation of the asbestos fibers poses a serious health risk.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recalled toys may contain asbestos (a high-risk hazard causing serious respiratory health consequences), and no illnesses have been reported to date. Per the rubric, asbestos falls under risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported, justifying a score of 3 (High).

The recalled products include model 17451 (a large golden monkey toy) and model 41929 (an assortment of small monkeys in various colors). Both models are filled with sand and feature the date code 3102491A, which appears on the hand of the large monkey or the back of the smaller monkeys.
The recalled toys may contain fibrous tremolite asbestos in the sand, which can cause adverse health issues if inhaled. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately take the toys away from children and stop using them.

Consumers will need to verify the code and lot number, place the toy in a sealed heavy-duty plastic bag, and submit a photo to the company. If the toy has ruptured or leaked sand, consumers should wear a mask and gloves, use damp cloths to collect any escaped sand, and double-bag all materials before disposal according to local or state regulations.
