Concerns raised over stress-relief toys

A type of squishy stress-relief toy called "Nienie" has recently become popular among young people, but some have raised safety concerns such as excessive formaldehyde levels.

The visually appealing toys, made mostly of silicone and resembling various types of food, offer a squishy texture and enhanced malleability. They have attracted a significant following, especially among young women.

Zhou Di, a young woman who discovered the toys on a video platform and promptly ordered several, continues to follow influencers and gets updates on new releases.
