Reported risk: Health Canada's sampling and evaluation program has determined the Barrel-O-Slime toy does not meet the Canadian toy safety requirements related to boric acid content. Boric acid can be toxic to children if licked or swallowed. Children are more sensitive to boric acid toxicity than adults. High levels of boric acid ingestion may have long-term effects on a child's development and their future reproductive health. As of October 4, 2018 Dollar Novelty has received no reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of these toys in Canada.
