The Office of Fair Trading is warning parents after it seized counterfeit and unsafe squishies.
81 of the popular toys were taken from a Douglas shop after inspectors found them to be unsafe.
They're now warning parents about choking hazards, unsafe chemicals and labelling issues.
They say you should check packaging for CE or UKCA safety markings, age warning signs and instructions - and be wary of any that don't have them.
