Doodlebutt is recalling about 1,500 units of Jelly BeadZ Jumbo BeadZ and Magic Growing Fruity Fun water-absorbing polymer toys because they can be mistaken for candy by children. If swallowed, these toys can expand significantly inside a child's body and cause dangerous intestinal obstructions. The products were sold exclusively on Amazon.com between February 2012 and September 2013 for about $9. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and contact Doodlebutt for a full refund.
These toys can absorb 300 to 500 times their weight in water, expanding up to eight times their original size inside the body. This expansion can cause severe intestinal blockages that may not show up on x-rays and require surgery to remove, posing a life-threatening risk.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled polymer products and take them away from small children. Consumers should contact Doodlebutt for a full refund.
