What the authority reported

The rubber of the balloons releases an excessive amount of nitrosatable substances(measured total value: 2.63 mg/kg), which generate nitrosamines among which it was found N-nitrosodiethanolamine (NDELA) and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Nitrosamines may cause cancer through ingestion or dermal exposure. A child could be exposed to them when touching or putting the product in the mouth.

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.
