## A very big recall
Ricky Joy pulled more than 2.3 million bottles of Sour Crush rolling liquid candy, the Consumer Product Safety Commission says.
## The problem is the ball
The bottle dispenses candy through a rolling ball, like roll-on lip gloss. That ball can come loose from the packaging.

> The recalled product uses a rolling ball to dispense liquid candy, similar to roll-on lip gloss.
## A choking hazard
A detached ball is small enough for a child to choke on, which is the whole reason for the recall.
## The candy is fine
Nothing is wrong with the liquid candy itself. The company still wants people to stop using the product because of the applicator.
## Sold for over three years
The bottles went out through national retailers including H-E-B and Walmart.com from January 2023 through May 2026, at about $3 each or $13 to $32 per pack.
## How to get your money back
No injuries have been reported so far. Ricky Joy is issuing refunds and sending a prepaid shipping label so you can mail the candy back.
## Key takeaway

If you have Sour Crush rolling liquid candy at home, stop using it and claim a refund from Ricky Joy.
