Sloosh dive sticks violate federal ban and pose impalement hazard

Plain-English summary

Sloosh dive sticks, contained in packages of Sloosh water toys model 40041, are being recalled. The model number is printed on the back of the box next to the bar code and on one end of the dive stick along with Joyin's name and tracking information. About 254,000 units are affected.

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, and facial and eye injuries are also possible. No injuries have been reported.

The water toys were sold online at Amazon.com, Temu.com, Wayfair.com, Plus.Target.com and SHEIN.com from February 2019 through October 2025 for between $17 and $22.

Consumers should stop using the recalled dive sticks immediately, take them away from children and dispose of them, then follow the photo-and-email process described in the recall notice.
