Risk

This may lead a small child to put the product in the mouth, which could cause the kid to swallow the slime.Ingestion or contact with an excessive quantity of boron may harm the health of children by damaging their reproductive system. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive, the Food Imitating Products Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-3.
