What the authority reported
The product presents a serious risk of asphyxiation because if the product is swallowed in its hydrated form, it can block a young child’s airway. Improvements are also required to product labelling and marking. OPSS has published a Product Safety Alert for water beads, which can be accessed at: https://www.gov.uk/product-safety-alerts-reports-recalls/product-safety-alert-water-beads-psa7 . The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
