Manufacturer Joyin Recalls Sloosh Dive Sticks Due to Serious Injury Risks

On June 11, 2026, Joyin, the manufacturer of Sloosh dive sticks recalled them. They were recalled because they violate a federal dive sticks ban; they are over the compress limit and therefore present the risk of impalement, particularly in shallow water, where a child could fall onto one of them, resulting in severe injuries. It is also possible that a child could suffer facial or eye injuries when trying to pick up the sticks under water. About 254,000 units of the dive sticks were affected by the recall. If your child was injured by a Sloosh dive stick, call the experienced Chicago-based lawyers of Moll Law Group to determine whether you have a viable claim. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we’ve been involved.

The recalled Sloosh dive sticks are included in model 40041 packages of Sloosh water toys that were sold before October 23, 2025. These packages include not only five dive sticks but also 25 other pieces. The sticks are essentially cylinders made of hard plastic that are 7 inches long and about 1 inch or less in diameter. These sticks are different colors. You can see whether your dive sticks are part of the recall by looking at the back of the box of the Sloosh toys to see whether the model number 40041 is printed by the bar code and printed on top of one end of the dive stick, next to Joyin’s name and tracking information. The Sloosh dive sticks were sold from February 2019-October 2025 for $17-$22 at Amazon.com, Plus.Target.com, Temu.com, SHEIN.com, and Wayfair.com, from February 2019 through October 2025 for between $17 and $22.

There have been no injuries reported so far. However, consumers have been asked to stop using the recalled dive sticks right away and to take them away from children. If there were no injuries as a result of using the dive sticks, you can take a photo of them and email it to Joyin at support@joyin.com, in order to receive redesigned dive sticks that are compliant with federal regulations. This remedy would likely be inadequate, however, if your child suffered piercing or other injuries as a result of these toys. When a toy is defective and causes injuries to a child, it may be appropriate to pursue damages in a product liability lawsuit. These lawsuits can be brought when a toy or other product is defective in terms of its design, manufacturing, or marketing.

In this case, if the Sloosh dive sticks are defective, they most likely have a design defect, since they fail to comply with federal regulations. Design defects exist in all units of a product; in most cases, it is necessary to consult with an expert to determine whether there is a design defect, but a design’s failure to comply with federal regulations may be part of the calculus.
