After an earlier water beads recall, parents are warned not to give beads to children as they look similar to candy and are dangerous if ingested.
Health Canada has issued a number of recall warnings regarding several household items sold across the country, many of which are due to life-threatening risks to young children, fire hazards, chocking hazards and excess lead — all of which pose a serious risk to the health and safety of Canadian consumers.
The colourful beads can expand up to 1,500 times their size when wet and if swallowed can cause intestinal or bowel obstruction that may need surgery.
