Toy slime with dangerous levels of chemicals seized


Toy slime with dangerous levels of chemicals seized

Toy slime containing more than three times the legal limit of a potentially dangerous chemical has been found in West Dunbartonshire.

The local council's Trading Standards team seized the items from a shop in the region and have issued a safety alert urging locals not to use the toy.

The toys were found to contain more than three times the legal amount allowed of the chemical boron, which can cause irritation, diarrhoea, vomiting and cramps.

Boron is an ingredient often used to make slime products sticky.
