  1. Hospital admission

    Made Jun 1, 2024, sent to the company Jun 5, 2024, published by CPSC Jun 20, 2024

    The product, in the report: Water beads, [REDACTED] , multicolored

    A 3 year old child was given water beads by his ABA therapist, without his mother’s knowledge, and he ingested them. Upon ingestion, these beads transformed into a gel within his digestive system coating his gastrointestinal tract, a complication that both triggered new health issues and exacerbated chronic pre-existing ones.

    While seeking medical treatment, the mother was sent a link to the water bead product associated with the injury. The ASIN number in the link’s url matches the unique and established ASIN for Marvel Beads.
