The product, in the report: Howtoons Marshmallow Build Your Own Marshmallow Shooter - Blast marshmallows 20 FT through the air! 27 piece marshmallow shooter set 50 glow in the dark foam marshmallows
My son received the Howtoons Marshmallow Shooter for his 8th birthday. My 9 year old son was playing with it, building a shooter device to shoot the included foam marshmallow pieces. In order for the device to work you have to blow through the connected tubes and the foam pieces shoot out into the air. He decided to load a bunch and start shooting multiple pieces. Then he decided he wanted them to shoot out really far across the room so he took a really big breath to inhale while his mouth was on the tube and he sucked in some of the foam pieces and started to choke. He really startled him and he began turning purple and was not able to cough at all. We flipped him upside down and patted him very firmly across his back until he was able to cough and take a breath. Unfortunately he was not able to cough the pieces up so they were swallowed. We have no idea how many he actually swallowed but it was extremely scary and had he not started coughing we almost called 911 and had a much scarier situation on our hands. The toy states that it is for age 8+ but I think it should be older and actually recalled due to the potentially life-threatening hazard it poses.
