Jangostor, Tuladuo water beads bought on Amazon pose toxic risk to children: USCPSC says
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is warning consumers to stop using Jangostor large water beads and Tuladuowater bead sets because of the risk of life-threatening injuries, according to a release sent Tuesday.
The large water beads contain levels of acrylamide in violation of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. If ingested, the water beads could pose a risk of toxicity to children and adverse health effects, the release said.
The CPSC is aware of two incidents in which 2-year-old children required surgery to remove the water beads. The ingested water beads can grow inside the body, causing severe discomfort, vomiting, dehydration, intestinal blockages, or life-threatening injuries that can require surgery to remove the beads.
Consumers who purchased the product will receive this notice directly.
The CPSC urges consumers to stop using the water beads immediately and dispose of the products in the trash.
