What is the danger

The rubber of the internal ball easily breaks, releasing its liquid, which contains an excessive amount of mesophilic micro-organisms (measured values: 8100 bacterial cfu/g and 310 mould cfu/g), among which opportunistic pathogens (Pseudomonas putida) often resistant to antibiotics. The leaked liquid could cause severe infections or sepsis in immunocompromised or debilitated individuals.
