Just another thing for parents to worry about...

A consumer group, Which?, tested 11 slime products. They found that 8 of the products had dangerous levels of boron which will cause stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, and irritation. Since the study, Amazon has removed the slime that was flagged since the marketplace sellers didn't follow proper guidelines.
