Are these bubble gums? Are those safe for kids?

Yes, there are gum balls inside. I purchased these as a party favors for my 3 year old's birthday. For the smaller kids, I just dumped the gum balls out and replaced them with M&Ms.;

yes, they are mini gumball dispensers with individual packs of gum insied each one. THe packs have about 20 little gumballs in them. I only gave them out to the bigger kidds. I didnt think the parents of the toddlers would appreciate me giving the gumball to their kids.

These are bubble gums. I gave them as party favors for my 7 year old birthday party. The kids loved them. I tied a ribbon around them with a free bowling pass(bowling party) I noticed in a few some of the gumballs were cracked but otherwise great buy!!!!

I suppose they *could* be, but they're easily larger than a tootsie roll, so your little one would need to be pretty determined. I have two kiddos and haven't ever had to worry about this.

No, they are about 4 inches tall and not a choking hazard. A child could chew the leg off and swallow it though. I bought for a 2 year old and wasn't worried about it. They are quite sturdy as all M & D toys are.

I couldnt find a specific answer however, there is no alcohol or sugar in it. I would say it is safe for children any age who know how to gargle. Source: http://www.actoralcare.com/act-for-adults/act-faq/

Only thing I can tell you is that they are not microwave/dishwasher safe or bpa free. They kids do put food on them and drink from them. As long as we have had them no problem. Better then most of the ones out there.

I have a 3 year old and 18 month old that have used these since they were 6 months old - starting to teethe. I have never had an issue. Frequently they do chew on the other end but never had a risk of choking. Just need to watch when they use it. I am always scared if they use it while walking they could trip and fall and get hurt so I only let them use it while sitting of strapped in car seat.

yes, they are safe on any age...there is no problem on little ones to use it as my children used it to avoid motion sickness on long car trips or boat rides. i used it when pregnant to avoid morning sickness as well. i use mine regularly as i am prone to car sickness. i have owned several over the past fifteen years and they are a life saver for me!!!

In my opinion they are not small enough to pose a choking hazard to a 7 mo. old. I don't believe any of the pieces are small enough to choke on.

absolutely. i have used them since my daughter was 2. She doesn't mind them at all and the size is perfect for kids!

I have no fears about this product since there are no parts that could come off as choking hazards. My daughter loves these--I bought them for her 1st birthday. She pretends to eat and drink from them and loves putting them in an out of the grocery bag. She of course chews on them but they are well made and are not falling apart. If you are worried about the velcro coming off then maybe you could remove it yourself, but I think this is a well made safe product

Not unless your kid has a Godzilla size mouth. Seriously, no clue why the manufacturer states choking hazard; there aren't any small parts.

From what I read, the substance is perfectly safe for children. Generally, if it is safe for pets, then it is safe for kids. I would, however, keep it out of their reach because it is an appliance.

I bought these for my 3 year old granddaughter, and she did fine with them. I am not sure what "listed" age was, but if the child is out of the "put everything in your mouth" stage (8 months -2 years) you should be okay...we didn't use ours as cake toppers, they were just toys she played with while watching the show; she kept them in her purse ;-).

Considering that Baby Einstein has already had a toy recalled for toxic levels of lead (blue block in their Discover & Play Color Blocks), even if they aren't listing the toxins in their toys directly, they are a suspect company. One boy was suspected of being poisoned by these blocks when no other lead-containing items were found in the house. Besides, lead, PVC, and BPA (which you probably get more from in canned foods anyway) aren't the only toxins in toys and other household objects. Many have toxic levels of antimony, bromine, barium (Melissa & Doug has had two recalls in Canada for this), cadmium, arsenic and mercury. I mostly deny my kids the pleasure of putting any toys in their mouths excessively, but if you want to feel a bit safer about toys, try plugging individual toys/companies into HealthyToys.org or www.goodguide.com. You'll get a better feel for who has repeat offenses. I wouldn't trust anything a manufacturer tells you anyway. They have no intention of pulling dangerous toys or disclosing information unless they're forced to by law. Saying that, we own this toy, as it was gifted before we knew what we know now. The kids love to dance to it. I consider it hazardous for the kids to put in their mouths. I imagine it's not doing a lot of damage just being held. And it does play pleasing music :)

No, my two year old loves them. We've never had to crush them. We just hand one to her and she eats it. The consistency is similar to a chewable vitamin.

No, i don't think they are choking hazard. I bought this for my 2 year old one year ago and she did just fine - built it up and then tore it back down. My 6 month old plays with them just fine too, she will just gnaw on them when ever she can get her hands on them. Hope that helps :)

I can't provide an official answer from the manufacturer, but I use them with kids ages 2 and up. I use these in my private practice with kids of all ages and they like them. The kids are 100% supervised, so choking or biting off pieces is not an issue.
