Looks like it either got wet or kept in a very humid environment, the pads have stretched and the glue isn’t holding. Just get some new pads, they’re designed to be replaced anyway - YYE appears to be out of white pads, but you could get some yellow ones for $3 - [YoYoFactory Response Pads – YoYoExpert](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/64/YYF-Response)

You’re going to need to buy some new pads. They’re like $2 for a set of pads in the YYE store.
