Are growing beans poisonous?

Growth beans are actually a kind of toy, which we call marine bio balls. Especially for children, this kind of thing is more familiar to them. They are generally sold on the market. However, many parents worry that if their children use these things, there may be some adverse effects or they may be poisonous. So the following will introduce to you in detail whether growth beans are poisonous.

1. Growth beans are also called marine bio balls, water elves, water babies, crystal babies, ocean babies, bubble beads, etc. They look similar to glass beads and come in a variety of colors including red, yellow, and black. It can grow rapidly when put into water. Its body is very soft and feels like taffy when held in the hand. Some growing beans are round from small to large, while others are in various beautiful shapes such as five-pointed stars, triangles, etc. This is because growing beans are made by manufacturers using a gelatinous substance that can absorb water and swell, which can support its "growth" and "development".

2. This toy is sold at 50 cents per bag. There is no production date, quality certificate or manufacturer on the outer packaging bag, making it a "three-no" product. In the eyes of primary school students, the "marine bioball" can grow and produce small balls, and has been endowed with the characteristics of a living organism.

3. What exactly is this toy? After checking relevant information, the staff introduced that this product is a polypropylene polymer, a hydrophilic resin, so it has strong water absorption and a large expansion coefficient. When the expansion exceeds the limit of its expansion coefficient, it will rupture and release new collagen, so it is not a "baby born". He also said that the product is an aromatic hydrocarbon compound that contains metal elements such as magnesium, titanium, zinc, and may also be a compound containing benzene. When children have direct skin contact, some heavy metals in it may penetrate into cells due to its hydrophilic nature. After the product swells, its appearance and feel are attractive to children, which may cause children to ingest it by mistake. This polymer cannot be absorbed by the stomach and intestines and will continue to swell, leading to serious adverse consequences.
