CUMMING, Ga., Sept. 13 (Nationwide Times) — People who have Ricky Joy Sour Crush Rolling Liquid Candy Bottles at home should stop using them and keep them away from children, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says. The agency recalled about 2.3 million bottles because the rollerball top can detach and create a choking risk that could cause serious injury or death.
The recall applies to 1.85-fluid-ounce bottles of sour liquid candy. The candy is dispensed by rolling a ball at the top of the bottle across the tongue. Recalled flavors include blue raspberry, strawberry, green apple and watermelon.
The products were sold as individual bottles and in three- or 12-bottle packages. They were available nationwide at H-E-B, Forman Mills and other candy stores, as well as online through Walmart.com, CandyFunHouse.com, RickyJoy.com and other retailers, according to recall information. The reported sales period was January 2023 through May 2026.
How to identify the recalled candy
Consumers should look for Ricky Joy Sour Crush Rolling Liquid Candy Bottles matching the recalled size, flavors and rollerball design. The CPSC recall listing does not, in the information available here, provide a complete list of lot numbers, UPCs or manufacturing dates.
The reported price was about $3 for a single bottle and $13 to $32 for multipacks. The CPSC says the recall covers the bottles regardless of whether they were purchased in a store or online.
What consumers should do
The CPSC instructs consumers to stop using the candy immediately and take it away from children. Consumers should contact The Ricky Joy Company for a refund.
The company’s listed contact number is 404-975-0352. Information is also available. The CPSC says consumers will receive a prepaid shipping label to return the product.
Consumers who find one of the bottles should not give it to a child or try to continue using it if the rollerball appears secure. The recalled component can detach during use, according to the CPSC.
What is known about injuries
The CPSC and company recall information said no incidents or injuries had been reported when the recall was issued. That does not change the agency’s warning that a detached rollerball can pose a serious choking hazard.
The recall was announced by the CPSC on Sept. 10, 2026. The agency identified The Ricky Joy Company as the contact for the remedy and described the affected products as candy bottles with a rolling-ball dispenser.
