Mary Worby
: Think this works OK as part of a sentence, but sounds odd as a standalone! You often see 'Quetchgefahr!' on its own. I think we need more context from the asker!

They could get squashed / crushed!
This normally follows something along the lines of - 'do not put your fingers / tie / legs / any other part of your anatomy on / under heavy / moving parts, etc.
The best way is normally to work something around, as above.
Otherwise, the literal translation if this is all you have is 'Risk of crushing / squashing!'

danger of pinching or crushing
It depends upon the size of the machine and other factors. You can pinch your hand in a door, but you can be crushed between two heavy objects.
Let your context be your guide.

danger of being squashed / crushed
There is no single word equivalent.
I usually paraphrase to :
"danger (risk) to personnel of being crushed (squashed)"; if it's something the size of a finger or even a hand, you could used "pinched".
