The product
This recall involves Sloosh dive sticks, contained in packages of Sloosh water toys, model 40041. The model number 40041 is printed on the back of the box of Sloosh water toys, next to the bar code and printed on top of one end of the dive stick, along with Joyin's name and tracking information. The Sloosh water toys package contains 30 pieces, including five dive sticks. The recalled dive sticks are made of hard plastic and are cylinder-shaped. Each stick measures approximately 7-inches in length and about 1-inch or less in diameter. They come in various colors and are packaged in a box with other pool diving toys in the Sloosh water toys package. Only the dive sticks with model 40041 contained in the Sloosh water toys sold prior to October 23, 2025, are being recalled. Consumers can continue to use the other items contained in the Sloosh water toys package.
What can happen
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. Facial and eye injuries are also possible when children attempt to retrieve the sticks underwater.
The fix
Consumers should stop using the recalled dive sticks immediately, take them away from children and dispose of them. Consumers will be asked to take a photo of the disposed dive sticks in the trash and email it to Joyin at support@joyin.com. Once received, Joyin will send the consumer redesigned dive sticks that meet federal regulations.
