Major Ricky Joy Candy Recall: 2.3 Million Units Pulled Over Dangerous Choking Hazard
Parents and candy lovers need to check their pantries immediately, as a nationwide safety warning has officially triggered a massive Ricky Joy candy recall. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced the recall of approximately 2.3 million units of “Ricky Joy Sour Crush Rolling Liquid Candy” after safety officials identified a severe choking hazard that could lead to serious injury or death.
Why the Rolling Liquid Candy is Dangerous
The affected product is a 1.85-ounce liquid candy featuring a rollerball applicator that consumers lick to taste the treat. According to the CPSC, the small rolling ball on top of the container can detach during use. If a child swallows the loosened ball, it poses a severe choking threat.
The Ricky Joy candy recall applies to four specific flavors and colors:
-
Blue Raspberry (Blue container)
-
Strawberry (Red container)
-
Green Apple (Green container)
-
Watermelon (Pink container)

While no injuries have been reported to date, safety regulators strongly advise consumers to act immediately:
-
Stop Using: Take the product away from children right away.
