Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Recalled product: Eco-Novelty Recalls Jumbo Size and Jumbo Multipurpose Cosmo Beads Toys Due to Serious Ingestion Hazard

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.
