Target Recalls Water Absorbing Toys Due to Serious Ingestion Hazard

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

The hazard

If the small 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. Surgery is required to remove the toy from the body, if ingested. Medical professionals and parents should be aware that there is a possibility that the toys might not show up on an x-ray.

What to do

Consumers should immediately take this recalled toy away from children and return it to any Target store for a full refund.
