What is the hazard with Sloosh Dive Sticks, models 40041, 40003 and 16154?

Sloosh Dive Sticks, models 40041, 40003 and 16154 was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. 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. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.

What should you do if you own this product?

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. Sold at: Model 40041 - sold on Amazon.com, Temu.com, Wayfair.com, Target.com and SHEIN.com from February 2019 through October 2025 for between $17 and $22. Model 40003 - sold on Amazon.com, Target.com and SHEIN.com from January 2017 through December 2025 for between $14 and $16. Model 16154 - sold on Amazon.com and Target.com from October 2023 through December 2025 for between $10 and $15.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
