    W.A.T.C.H. Warning: “Young children are encouraged to “CREATE FUN B’LOONIE SHAPES!” by squeezing out a ball of plastic from one of the enclosed squeeze-tubes, and to “stick [it] on the end of the blowpipe.” The gooey concoction contains chemicals such as “poly vinyl acetate”, “ethyl acetate”, and “plastic fortifiers”. Flammable chemicals and related chemical fumes should not be part of a child’s toy, much less one intended to be used in or near a child’s mouth and eyes.”
