Frequently asked questions
How do I find the lot number on the product?
The recall notice does not specify lot numbers or production codes for the Orb Funkee squeeze toys. If you own one of these toys, assume it may be affected regardless of markings. Check the official CPSC recall notice for product images and descriptions to confirm whether your toy matches the recalled items. If you're unsure, contact The Orb Factory directly for help identifying affected products.
How worried should I be? What does this recall class mean?
This recall is very serious. The Orb Funkee squeeze toys may contain asbestos, a toxic substance that can cause severe lung disease, cancer, and death if inhaled over time. Asbestos-related illnesses often take years to develop. Stop using these toys immediately and keep them away from children. Do not open or shake the toys, as this could release fibers into the air. Contact your doctor if you have symptoms.
How do I get a refund for this recall?
The recall notice does not provide specific refund instructions for the Orb Funkee squeeze toys. Contact The Orb Factory, the importer, directly to ask about returns, refunds, or replacements. You can also reach out to the retailer where you purchased the toy. Keep your receipt if possible. Do not throw the toy in regular trash—ask about safe disposal instructions when you contact the company.
Is this brand safe to buy now?
The recall involves Orb Funkee squeeze toys imported by The Orb Factory. Whether other products from this brand are safe depends on whether the company has addressed the asbestos contamination issue in its supply chain and manufacturing. Check the CPSC website for any additional recalls. Consider contacting The Orb Factory directly to ask what safety measures they've implemented before purchasing other products from this brand.
Is this recall real? How do I verify it?
Yes, this recall is real. It was issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the official federal agency that announces product recalls.
