Target is recalling approximately 560,000 water-absorbing Hatch & Grow Easter Eggs, Easter Grow Toys, and Hatch Your Own Dino eggs. These small toys can expand significantly inside a child's body if swallowed, leading to dangerous intestinal blockages. The affected toys were sold at Target stores nationwide from February 2017 through March 2017 for about $1. No injuries have been reported, but the defect requires surgery to correct if an ingestion occurs. Consumers should immediately take these toys away from children and return them to any Target store for a full refund.
If a child ingests the toy, it can expand up to 600% of its original size inside the body, causing intestinal obstructions that lead to severe vomiting, dehydration, and life-threatening complications. These toys may not be visible on an x-ray, making medical diagnosis and the necessary surgical removal difficult.
Consumers should immediately take this recalled toy away from children and return it to any Target store for a full refund.
