Why this product was flagged
Recorded hazard
The product presents a serious health and asphyxiation 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 beads are swallowed by a young child, the bead may expand inside the digestive tract causing a blockage.
