On Sept. 14, 2023, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recalled Buffalo Games’ Chuckle & Roar Ultimate water beads activity kits due to serious risks of ingestion, choking, and obstruction hazards.
According to the CPSC, if a child swallows one of the water beads in the activity kits, the water bead can expand and pose ingestion, choking, or intestinal obstruction hazards. This can result in severe discomfort, vomiting, dehydration, and a risk of death to a child.
In July 2023, Buffalo Games received one report of death to a 10-month-old child due to swallowing one of the water beads in the recalled activity kits. Additionally, a 9-month-old child was seriously injured in November 2022 after ingesting water beads, resulting in intestinal obstruction. The child required surgery to remove the water beads.
Approximately 52,000 units have been recalled.
What products are included in the water bead activity kit recall?
The recall involves the Chuckle & Roar Ultimate Water Beads Activity Kit. The kit includes two ounces of “jumbo” water beads, six ounces of “regular” water beads, five small toy fish, scissor scoop, tweezers, a scoop with a handle, 10 activity cards, and instructions.
The activity kit was sold in a purple box with the UPC number 079346627035. The number is located on the back of the box.
The CPSC advises consumers to immediately take the recalled water beads activity kit away from children, and to stop using them.
