The product, in the report: Sensory play toy, SpongeBob SquarePants Hidden Friends Foam Bucket, Item # 10779920
A 5-year-old boy with autism ingested contents from the SpongeBob SquarePants Hidden Friends Foam Bucket, a sensory play toy product given to his 6-year-old brother as a party favor. After discovering missing material from the bucket, the childs parents contacted Poison Control and were reassured that the material non-toxic and therefore not likely to be harmful if accidentally ingested.
Days later, the child appeared to be in pain. An initial visit to the emergency room revealed constipation via X-ray, and he was discharged. Upon returning home, his condition worsened. During a diaper change, his mother observed significant rectal bleeding and foam material producing from his anus. He was rushed back to the emergency room, where blockage and infection were confirmed. Due to the severity of his condition, he was transferred to a higher level facility for treatment.
The child was admitted to the hospital, where doctors performed a colonoscopy and manually removed around three cups of foam beads from his rectum and lower colon. Additional foam beads remained scattered throughout the colon. The congealed slime and foam material made the colonoscopy and removal of the material technically difficult and complex. Pressure ulcers were also noted in the rectum.
