Be Amazing! Toys Recalls Monster Science and Super Star Science Colossal Water Balls Due to Serious Ingestion Hazard

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Be Amazing! Toys has recalled approximately 14,200 Monster Science and Super Star Science! Colossal Water Balls. These marble-sized toys expand up to 400 times their original size in water and can be easily mistaken for candy by children. If swallowed, the balls can expand inside the body and cause life-threatening intestinal blockages that require surgery to remove, as they do not show up on x-rays. Consumers should immediately take these toys away from children and contact the manufacturer for a full refund.

Risk

The water-absorbing polymer balls can expand significantly inside a child's body after being swallowed, leading to intestinal obstructions, vomiting, and dehydration. While no injuries have been reported for this specific brand, a similar product caused an 8-month-old girl to require surgery after ingestion.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately take the Colossal Water Balls away from children and ensure they are kept out of reach.
  2. Identify the product by looking for 'Monster Science Colossal Water Balls' (model #7255) or 'Super Star Science! Colossal Water Balls' (model #7704) on the packaging. Model numbers are printed on the back.
  3. Check the package contents: Monster Science versions include 8 balls and a packet of 'Growth Powder,' while Super Star Science! versions include 5 balls. The balls are marble-sized and come in blue, green, orange, purple, red, yellow, or clear.
