I can see the point for recalling the expandable balls if you have a mixed age range in the house - and are a completely negligent parent who's kids leave toys everywhere.

Otherwise - What?

The grandkids were playing with those expandable balls. They threw them in the bathtub to watch them grow. Many of them ended up in the drain and expanded. It wasn't fun getting them out.  :thud:
