Why is such a dangerous liquid used anyway?? I never assume that these types of objects are never going to break and leak. Regardless of the liquid’s safety there is also the small pieces in the liquid which could be inhaled or ingested creating a possible choking hazard for a child??

This could be an example of why manufacturers need to ensure safety before a product is sold, for the current CHOICE product safety campaigns.
