Several parents have spoken out about injuries their children suffered after swallowing water beads, most recently a mom of three from Iowa.
about injuries their children suffered after swallowing water beads, most recently a mom of three from Iowa.
Hannah Rief's 14-month-old daughter Letty was taken to a children's hospital by ambulance after swallowing a water bead.At the children's hospital, doctors still struggled to determine what was wrong with Letty, according to Rief. She said she wondered if Letty had swallowed something, even though she said she doesn't keep small items in the house because of her daughter's age.
"I let them dry out and then I vacuumed them, and I vacuumed them over and over and over ... and I really thought that I got all of them," Rief said. "But two years later, Letty is playing in there and she must have found one in the carpet and she swallowed it." "That really delayed the diagnosis and the treatment," Rief said. "I was really worried about a rupture, and if it ruptured, that she would turn septic."Hannah Rief
