I would actually give this product zero stars if I could. My girls saved up their own money for a dumpling. They were so excited only to unpackage a dumpling that reeked of strong chemicals similar to the smell of rubber cement. Certainly these are toxic. Due to this nature, there was no way I was going to let them play with them, but was not bold enough to bring them back to return them unpackaged.
Hi! First, I'm so sorry your daughters were disappointed. Reading your review honestly broke my heart, especially knowing they had saved up their own money and were so excited to open their dumplings.
Please don't hesitate to bring them back—even opened. I would be more than happy to refund them. I never want a child to spend their hard-earned money on something they don't truly love, and I'd much rather help them find something else that brings them joy.
I completely understand your concerns. While these dumplings have become incredibly popular with kids, they've never been the kind of thoughtfully made toy that Bicycle Pie is usually known for carrying. I brought them into the shop because they created so much excitement and became a fun way for neighborhood kids to stop in, browse, and feel connected to the shop—but I really appreciate hearing honest feedback like yours.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I hope you'll stop back in and let me make this right for your family.
