What is this? Huancai Water Crystal are small, colourful balls that look like sweets. They grow bigger when you soak them in water.
What's happening? These balls can trick children into thinking they are candy. If a child puts them in their mouth or swallows them, the balls may expand and cause harm.
Does this affect me? This is a risk for young children who might mistake the balls for food.
What should I do? If you have these balls at home, keep them far away from children. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice if a child has swallowed one.
