Target has pulled a children's toy from its shelves after a 10-month-old baby was hospitalized after swallowing the toy. Target has removed a toy by Chuckle & Roar that includes water beads. The small gel balls are often used in sensory kits, which are popular for children with autism.she bought a water beads activity kit for her 8-year-old son, who has autism. Shortly after, her younger daughter, Kennedy, began vomiting and became lethargic.
Since she was hospitalized on Nov. 1, Kennedy has undergone several surgeries to remove the bead and treat subsequent issues. Mitchell said she was told Kennedy might not survive.Target has since decided to stop selling the toy."We're aware of this tragic situation and send our heartfelt sympathy to this child and her family," a company spokesperson from Target told CBS News in a statement.
Several children have required emergency care for swallowing the beads, including a 2-year-old girl who swallowed about 100 small water beads, which expanded to the size of marbles. The child passed the beads in the emergency room. Another child had swallowed a water-absorbing ball that could grow to the size of a racquetball. That child had surgery to remove it.
KPIXtv First, think parents should monitor their children playing w/small objects. Second, knowing some children might swallow small beads, very irresponsible for a company to make a bead that can increase in size in liquid. What were they thinking? Hope little baby boy recovers well.
