ffs, another reason to hate Temu. my kid's been asking for that exact dumpling thing. guess who's not getting it now

Sophie Ngata2026-06-30T06:19:00.000Z

yeah my nephew had the same thing. scary stuff

River Cole2026-06-30T06:27:00.000Z

lol people actually buy toys from Temu? what did you expect for $2

Jack Morrison2026-06-30T06:57:00.000Z

not the point mate. parents shouldn't have to worry about poison in toys regardless of price

James O’Brien2026-06-30T06:42:00.000Z

benzene in toys? that's messed up. but let's be real, a lot of cheap crap everywhere has chemicals. we need better testing here too

exactly. if it's sold here it should meet safety standards

worked in toy safety for years. this is just the tip of the iceberg. online marketplaces are a nightmare for compliance

James O’Brien2026-06-30T07:33:00.000Z

agreed. but when products skip straight to consumers, nobody's checking

James O’Brien2026-06-30T07:04:00.000Z

bloody hell, wish they'd look at the stuff from China at The Warehouse too. not just Temu

James O’Brien2026-06-30T07:20:00.000Z

warehouse has recalls too though. at least they're traceable

Reagan Shaw2026-06-30T07:18:00.000Z

my cousin's kid had a reaction to one of those squishy toys. glad this is getting attention now

Blake Turner2026-06-30T07:26:00.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed Temu. stick to phone cases and fake chargers maybe

Luca Reid2026-06-30T07:34:00.000Z

poor parents just trying to save a buck. companies should be held accountable, not shoppers

Luca Reid2026-06-30T07:50:00.000Z

truth. we need better laws for online sellers

Sophie Ngata2026-06-30T07:39:00.000Z

honestly we just need to stop buying junk. get wooden toys from op shops. safer and better for the planet

Blake Turner2026-06-30T07:59:00.000Z

get real, not everyone can afford organic wooden toys 😂
