The product, in the report: Teal in Color. One smooth and one rigged ball.
My daughter placed the smooth Vivatar Hot/Cold Massage Ball in the microwave per the package instructions. The ball exploded in the microwave. The force of the ball exploding against the microwave door caused the microwave to stop working. Hot gel like liquid was all over the interior of the microwave and we were forced to replace the unit.
