What is this? Hydrogel gun pellets are small, soft balls that grow much bigger when they get wet. They are sold as toy gun bullets.
What's happening? These pellets can swell inside a child’s mouth or body if swallowed. This may block the throat or gut.
Does this affect me? Children under 10 are most at risk, especially if they play with these pellets.
What should I do? Stop children from using them. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice if they are swallowed.
