W.A.T.C.H. OUT! These multi-colored “rainbow seeds” are sold to children with “growing” instructions – simply adding water will allow the seeds to “fully grow in 3-4 hours.” The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has received reports of children ingesting “water beads” with the potential to cause “grave internal injuries…” The government has already urged removal of water bead products from “any environment” with small children and has urged schools, camps, and childcare facilities to “avoid these products entirely.”
