Warning about capsule-containing sponge toys entering the body of young children

Capsule sponge toys are compressed sponges inside small capsules made of gelatin, and when you put the capsules in water or lukewarm water, the gelatin dissolves and the sponges inside are shaped like dinosaurs, fruits, animals, etc. It is a toy that comes out.
The toy entered the child's body without the parent's knowledge, and the child suffered from an unexplained illness for four months until the cause was identified by a medical institution, after which the child had to be removed under general anesthesia.
