What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Gigglescape™ Under the Sea Popping Toy?
Gigglescape™ Under the Sea Popping Toy was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. 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. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
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 Gigglescape Under The Sea Popping Toy by mail. Sold at: Target stores nationwide from August 2025 through January 2026 for about $10.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 49,000 units of Gigglescape™ Under the Sea Popping Toy are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
