Bubbling Submarine - 2 Pack

This submarine is a hollow hard-plastic hull with a wide bubble-and-pour opening that drains as the toy is lifted, it is dishwasher safe, and it carries no external coatings — no mold complaints appear in the reviews we hold. What is missing is any statement about whether the interior can be opened and fully dried: hands-on testers of the larger Green Toys submarine could not get it open and found the limited view inside hinders proper cleaning and mold inspection.

Green Toys maintains CPSIA General Conformity Certificates and European testing standard documentation for its line and makes them available through its retailer channel; the company is an identifiable US manufacturer selling through more than 3,000 retail locations. ASTM F963 is not named for this submarine, and the conformity certificates are not published where a shopper can open them.

The submarine is moulded from 100% recycled plastic — post-consumer HDPE milk jugs — with no BPA, phthalates or PVC, no painted surface coatings, and it meets FDA food contact standards, the relevant benchmark for a toy that goes in a warm-water mouth. Independent bath-toy reviewers who handled Green Toys submarines report the same material facts and no colour leaching or surface degradation.

The design is a single moulded recycled-plastic hull with a spinning rear propeller and no glued-on or painted parts. Reviewers who put the larger Green Toys submarine through repeated tub and pool use found it survives being dropped and knocked without cracking or shedding pieces, and one hard-plastic Green Toys bath toy stayed intact through nearly three years of testing — that hands-on work covers the sibling submarine rather than this two-pack, and no detachment complaints appear in the reviews we hold for it.

No age grade and no small-parts warning are published for this two-pack, even though materials, dimensions and weight are all given. Independent toy-safety reviewers place the Bubbling Submarine at 18 months to 5 years and retail grading puts it at preschool upward, and no detached-piece reports appear in the reviews we hold.

We queried the full CPSC recall corpus — 9,944 records spanning June 1973 to August 2026 — and found a single entry for Green Toys: a voluntary 2012 recall of Mini Vehicles whose wheels and hubcaps could loosen or detach, with 10 reports, no injuries, and full refunds offered. That record is fourteen years old, sits in the toy-vehicle line rather than bath toys, and nothing else has been filed against the brand since.

Green Toys issues General Conformity Certificates tied to CPSIA compliance and supplies European testing standard information to its retailers, and this submarine meets FDA food contact standards. These are named, checkable standards rather than vague safety copy, though no certificate number, issuing laboratory or test date is published for this toy.

A university sustainability research centre went to Green Toys directly and came back with manufacturing detail the company does not otherwise publish: the toys are moulded from post-consumer recycled HDPE milk jugs, painted coatings are deliberately avoided, and the colorant was vetted for harmful additives. Materials, dimensions and weight are published for this submarine, while warranty terms are not.
