Buffalo Games is recalling about 52,000 Chuckle & Roar Ultimate Water Beads Activity Kits because the beads pose serious ingestion, choking, and intestinal obstruction hazards. One 10-month-old child’s death and one serious injury requiring surgery for a 9-month-old have been reported after swallowing the beads. The kits, which include jumbo and regular water beads along with various toys and tools, were sold exclusively at Target from March through November 2022. Consumers should immediately take the kit away from children and return it to Target or contact Buffalo Games for a refund.
If a child swallows a water bead, it expands inside the body and can cause choking or life-threatening intestinal obstructions. This can lead to severe discomfort, vomiting, and dehydration, and has resulted in at least one infant death.
Consumers should immediately stop using and take away the recalled water beads from children. Contact Buffalo Games for a full refund and instructions on how to return the product in a prepaid mailing package supplied by the firm or return the product to any Target store.
The kit includes five small toy fish, a scissor scoop, tweezers, a scoop with a handle, 10 activity cards, and instructions inside a purple container.
