What the authority reported
The product contains water beads. The beads can be put into the mouth and swallowed by children. As the beads expand, it can cause fatal occlusion of the respiratory track or intestinal blockage. Moreover, the beads if swallowed in hydrated form, may block a young child's airway, leading to choking.
What to do
