Product Description

This recall involves Kori Gey-branded water elf toy kits. The recalled kits are a children's craft toy that uses colored gel dropped into water to form soft, squishy jelly-like figures. The toy kit consists of 22 bottles of water gel (12 non-sparkly and 10 sparkly), 22 molds in various shapes, a plastic strainer, a plastic jar labeled magic powder, extra magic powder packet, a paint brush, disposable gloves and a LED light with a button cell battery. The toy sets come in a plastic jar with lid. "Kori Gey" and "Water Elf Kit" are printed on the front of the toy kits.

Reason for Recall

Contact Qaniy for a full refund. Consumers should throw the toy's gasket away and send a photo of the product in the trash to changshaaoyuan@outlook.com. Note: Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.
