The product, in the report: Wubblex - The product is a rubber ball inflatable by a helium pump.

I went to the store with my daughter, she picked out the product. When we got home, I told her to wait until I got up to open her new toys. I took a nap and when I woke up, she had ingested the entire can. She was flushed and lathargic. I asked a neighbor/nurse friend what to do next. She said to call poison control and they suggested I go to the emergency room. They gave her a series of test and she was ultimately fine.
I don’t think you should sell anything in the toy department that can make you wind up in the emergency room, when it is a popular thing to ingest.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(1/18/2017) NSI International, Inc.: NSI International, Inc. takes the safety of our products and our consumers seriously. We encourage our customers to provide additional information about incidents to our customer service department by email at custserv@nsi-int.com or by calling us at 888-425-9113. Thank you for notifying NSI International, Inc. of this incident –Report 20161230-DEB93-2147408702.
NSI International, Inc. has sold over 4,000,000 patented Wubble Balls worldwide, with the WUBBLEX Ball and helium canister bundle introduced in 2015. This is the first report of a consumer “safety incident” received regarding the Wubble X Ball and helium canister bundle, and only the third inquiry at all regarding safety of Wubble Balls. Given the physical play of the product and the user base, we are certain you would agree that these are excellent statistics
All our products are tested to and are in compliance with all applicable safety standards and are labeled in accordance to US regulations. In the case of Wubble X Ball Bubble Ball and helium canister bundle , the product complies to U.S.A. toy safety requirements of ASTM F963-11 and CPSIA and the labeling requirements of 16CFR 1500.130, 16CFR 1500.12.121(C), The Uniform Packaging and Labeling Regulations and the Fair Practice Labeling Act. Copies of all these reports have been supplied under separate cover to the CPSC.
The Wubble X helium canister is included with the Wubble X ball so that a supervising adult can perform single-use inflation of the Wubble X ball. When the ball is fully inflated it is approximately 8 to 10” in diameter – which for reference is about the size of one standard inflated 10” latex balloon.
The Wubble X helium canister is very clearly labeled (copy of packaging artwork has been supplied to CPSC under separate cover) in red font with the following waring statements: “Keep out of reach of children. Canister is to be used by supervising adult only! Do not use for any other purpose.” and “Do not inhale helium. Use only in a well ventilated area. Never use in closed spaces. Helium reduces and can eliminate oxygen available for breathing and can cause rapid suffocation. Inhaling helium can result in serious personal injury of death.” Additional warning is given advising “Do not place nozzle in mouth or nose for any reason. Doing so can result in serious personal injury or death…” In addition, the Wubble X Ball packaging clearly states the helium canister required to inflate the ball is “for adult use only”.
The incident reported by the consumer occurred because the consumer failed to read and/or heed the clear instructions and warnings outlined here and provided on the product and neither did her 13-year-old daughter. The unsupervised teenager had to have access to, intentionally open by removing safety tabs and outer plastic shrink wrap, and then knowingly misuse the product in order to have a reaction to the helium contained in the canister. When appropriately used as directed in the very clear instructions supplied on the canister there is minimal chance of hazard or injury.
NSI International regrets that the product was misused/mishandled by the consumer and that they ultimately denied themselves the truly fun experience of properly playing with the WubbleX anti-gravity Wubble ball. We are relieved that the child sustained no actual injury and has recovered.
.
The report supplied to NSI International states that the consumer has not attempted to contact us but plans to do so.
Again, NSI International, Inc. takes the safety of our products and our consumers seriously (We’re all concerned parents too!) and it is our goal to provide 100% safe products and consumer satisfaction. NSI would welcome hearing directly from the consumer and we may be reached at the contact information supplied in the first paragraph of this response.

The product, in the report: Wubble Bubble Ball

I purchased a Wubble Ball for my daughter. i carefully read the instructions regarding the inflation of the ball. I finished inflating the ball, and set it on my bed, at which time, it abruptly, and violently popped in her face. I purchased another ball, and took it outside to inflate, and this one popped as well, with violent force. luckily, no one got hurt either time, but had my daughter been a baby, the force of the popping would certainly cause harm.
