Toy slime

What is the danger

The migration of barium, lead and boron from the slime is too high (measured values: 896mg/kg, 24.3 mg/kg and 589 mg/kg respectively) and it contains a small magnet with a high magnetic flux.

Requirements breached

Barium is potentially toxic if ingested. Ingestion or contact with an excessive quantity of boron may harm the health of children by damaging the reproductive system and lead is harmful for human health and can cause developmental neurotoxicity. If a child swallows this small magnet and other metallic objects, they could attract one another causing intestinal blockage or perforation. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and with the relevant European standards EN 71-1 and EN 71-3.
