Over 70 million liquid roller candies from two companies have been recalled for being a potential choking hazard after a 7-year-old girl died while consuming the product.
The candies — Cocco Candy Rolling Candy and various flavors of Slime Licker Sour Rolling Candy from Candy Dynamics — come in plastic bottles with a rolling ball that holds the liquid candy. The ball can detach from containers, creating a choking hazard, the Consumer Product Safety Commission reported.
Anyone with the recalled products is advised to stop consuming them and take them away from children.
Slime Licker Sour Rolling Candy sold in 2-ounce and 3-ounce containers in blue (blue razz), red (strawberry), green (sour apple) and pink (black cherry) packaging with “TOXIC WASTE” brand and “SLIME LICKER Sour Rolling Liquid Candy” or “MEGA TOXIC WASTE” brand and “SLIME LICKER Sour Rolling Liquid Candy” printed on the front label. About 70 million units have been recalled . Their UPC codes are 8-98940-00101-6, 8-98940-00191-7, 8-98940-00169-6, 8-50034-59720-1 and 0-60631-91829-7.
There have been two reports of the applicator ball detaching from the container, but no injuries or deaths have been reported.
