Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For Katzco Glow in the Dark Slime. At least six slime products sold on this website have tested for extremely high toxic chemical levels of boron - 15 times as much as is safe! Lab tests were conducted in both America and the European Union, warnings are everywhere. Safe levels of boron in slime should be no more than 300 mg/kg/ppm (parts per measure). Lab testing showed that the six tested slime products sold here contain boron measured at 4700, 4600, 1900, 1500, 1400, 1100 mg/kg/ppm!! Unbelievably over the safe limit of 300! Another slime's packaging looks like the Katsco slime packaging - same box, photo, starts with a 'K', ends with an 'o', just with an 'idsc' in the middle. Boron measures at a whopping 4600. Another one starts with a K', ends with 'roo'. It has the highest level of boron - 4700. Read reports for yourself - in America, U.S. PIRG 's "WINTER 2018 NEWS BRIEFS", 'Trouble in Toyland - 2018 33rd Annual Toy Safety Report". They write, "We found slimes with boron concentrations that are as much as 15 times the European Union’s limit. Ingesting boron or borax can cause nausea, vomiting and long-term reproductive health issues. Jordan, Canada and other countries have taken action to limit or ban slimes with high boron content." On December 13, 2018, media in England reported, "Many popular slime toys may contain higher than recommended levels of a potentially harmful chemical – and nearly half do not meet the EU safety standard, according to new research. Another product, classified as a putty, also failed the test. Short-term over-exposure to the chemical can cause skin irritation, diarrhoea, vomiting and cramps, according to experts. Borax – a compound of boron – is part of the product’s makeup, due to its ability to increase “stickiness”. Safety directives outline that liquid or sticky toys should contain no more than 300mg/kg of boron. Exposure to large amounts of boron can affect the stomach, brain, liver, kidney and intestines and may eventually lead to death. It may also affect fertility and could harm unborn children, according to the European Commission. " I am returning the Katzco Glow-in-the-Dark Slime I purchased for my grandkids' stocking stuffer. Who is policing the sale of toxic items?!
