A mother has issued an urgent warning to other parents after her 10-month-old daughter was hospitalised with life-threatening intestinal damage after swallowing a water bead.
Folichia Mitchell, a mother of four from Maine, says she purchased the Chuckle & Roar Ultimate Water Beads Kit from Target in October for her oldest son Joshua, who is on the autism spectrum. She told Good Morning America that she’d purchased the water beads because they were advertised as being “good for sensory.”
