Water-absorbing polymer beads
Published January 26, 2015 · Recall initiated: September 10, 2013
What's the hazard
The hard and colorful toy can be easily mistaken for candy by a child. When the bead is ingested, it expands and can cause intestinal obstructions inside a child's body, resulting in severe discomfort, vomiting, dehydration and could be life threatening. The toys need surgery to be removed from the body. Similar toys have not shown up on x-rays.
What to do
Consumers should immediately take this recalled toy away from children and contact Eco-Novelty for a refund.
