Eyewitness NewsWASHINGTON (WABC) -- A recall was announced Monday for several types of children's toys that expand when placed in water. The little toys, which start out small but grow larger when infused with liquid, can be particularly dangerous for children, officials with the Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
The recall includes toys marketed under the names of Water Balz, Skulls, Orbs and Flower Toys, made by the Cleveland, Ohio, company Dunecraft.
Among them is a toy named after the film "Despicable Me."The toys start out about the size of a marble, the agency said, posing a choking hazard.
But beyond that, they expand once they come in contact with liquids in the body, exposing children to additional risk.
For more information, contact Dunecraft at 800-306-4168, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST, or visit the company website at Dunecraft.com
