Target is recalling thousands of water-absorbing toys because they pose a danger to children if swallowed.

According to WPRI 12, the recall affects approximately 560,000 Hatch & Grow Easter Eggs, Easter Grow Toys and Hatch Your Own Dino toys.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), if any of the toys are swallowed, they “can expand and obstruct a child’s intestines, potentially resulting in serious discomfort, dehydration, and vomiting, and could be life threatening.”
