Unknown · Crystal balls - Seven Color Crystal Boll – Bio Gel
The product poses a risk of choking because the balls can be mistaken for sweets by children and placed into the mouth. The balls expand rapidly on contact with water and could therefore partially or completely obstruct the airway if accidentally swallowed or if they enter the respiratory tract.
