Water-absorbing polymer balls

Published April 24, 2015 · Recall initiated: September 10, 2013

What's the hazard

The soft and colorful product can be mistaken by a child for candy. When the marble-sized toy is ingested, it can expand inside a child's body and cause intestinal obstructions, resulting in severe discomfort, vomiting, dehydration and could be life threatening. The toys do not show up on an x-ray and need surgery to be removed from the body.

What to do

Consumers should immediately take this recalled toy away from children and contact Be Amazing! Toys for a refund.
