    The product, in the report: It’s Party Time Happy Birthday balloons, 15 count, 12 inch diameter, helium quality latex, multi-color and have happy birthday printed in white letters Model Item # 840423

    I bought a pack of “It’s Party Time” balloons at Walgreen’s . My son needed balloons for a school project. The balloons have an extremely toxic smell to them. When I blew one up, the taste just consumed my mouth and tongue and tingled. The after effect lasted for hours. My stomach felt awful too. It was beyond just “ewww, balloons taste terrible.” It was fully toxic and I believe poisonous to anyone who uses them. I was not injured, but I believe poisoned. I attempted to call their toll free number but the wait was too long. They are the “It’s Party Time” Happy Birthday ballons, 15 count, Item # 840423, ICN #20202, UPC 049022957398.
