Risk Level: Serious

The product presents a serious health risk as it includes water beads that expand to more than 50% of their original size within 12 hours of soaking them in water. If the small, dehydrated bead is swallowed by a young child, the bead may expand inside the digestive tract causing a blockage. The product also presents a risk of asphyxiation as if a bead is swallowed in its hydrated form, it may block a young child’s airway leading to aspiration.

Corrective Action

Letterbox Lab have issued a safety warning to affected consumers advising them of the risks associated with water beads.
