The company will provide redesigned dive sticks that comply with federal regulations.
Joyin US Corp. is recalling about 404,000 Sloosh dive sticks because the products violate the federal dive sticks ban by exceeding the compression limit, creating an impalement hazard. Children can fall or land on the dive sticks in shallow water, resulting in serious piercing injuries. Facial and eye injuries are also possible when children attempt to retrieve the sticks underwater. This recall expands a previous recall of 254,000 units, bringing the total to 404,000 (CPSC Recall Notice, No. 26-654 (July 30, 2026)).
Incidents and injuries. No incidents or injuries have been reported in connection with the recalled dive sticks.

The hard plastic, cylinder-shaped dive sticks were sold in various colors and measure about 7 inches long and 1 inch or less in diameter. Model 40041 was sold online at Amazon.com, Temu.com, Wayfair.com, Target.com, and SHEIN.com from February 2019 through October 2025 for between $17 and $22.
