Product description
This recall involves TheKiddoSpace-branded reusable water balloons. The recalled refillable multi-colored water balloons are silicon balls that have small magnets to keep them closed when filled and come with a black mesh storage bag. TheKiddoSpace logo, "Reusable Water Ballons" and an image of child holding a water balloon are printed on the product's resealable blue packaging.
Reason for recall
The cord lock on the recalled water ballons' storage bags contain a regulated phthalate, which violate the federal phthalate ban. Phthalates are toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.
Remedy, what to do
Consumers should stop using the recalled reusable water balloons immediately, take the storage bag away from children and contact TheKiddoSpace to receive a free replacement bag, including shipping. Consumers will be asked to cut the storage bag in half and send a photo of the destroyed bag to info@thekiddospace.com. Consumers should then dispose of the destroyed bags in accordance with their local waste disposal requirements.
