What happened

An expanding toy product called "Badespaß auf d" manufactured by Instant Products is being recalled due to a choking and intestinal obstruction hazard. The product consists of sponge figures compressed into small gelatinous capsules packaged in transparent outer packages with three holes. The capsules can be removed from the packaging and swallowed by children, and as they expand in the digestive system, they pose a risk of fatal blockage, particularly in small children.

The recalled products are identified by GTIN (EAN) numbers 0508570011186, 050857001125, 0508570011254, and 050857001115. The product was designed to be fully immersed in warm water so the gelatinous capsules would dissolve and the sponge figures would expand. The source document does not specify what remedy or action affected consumers should take.
