Risk Description
The product poses a risk of injuries because if the granules are mixed with liquid and orally ingested as a "fizzy drink", the substance quickly expands and can adhere to the stomach lining, in which case its powerful adhesive force will prevent spontaneous discharge. From a medical point of view there is a very real risk that the pylorus [exit from the stomach] may become blocked. The product does not comply with the Toys Directive.
