What is the hazard with TheKiddoSpace Reusable Water Balloons?
TheKiddoSpace Reusable Water Balloons was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. 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. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
What should you do if you own this product?
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. Sold at: Online at TheKiddoSpaceStore.com from April 2024 through February 2025 for between $15 and $30.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 4,300 units of TheKiddoSpace Reusable Water Balloons are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
