With the "potential" of silicone particulates being in the product, these silicone particulates could cause serious health issues if the "foreign material" reaches the person's blood vessels.
Officials also stated that "if the particulate matter reaches the blood vessels it can travel to various organs and block blood vessels in the heart, lungs or brain which can cause stroke and even lead to death."
As of right now, thankfully, there are no health issues that have been reported, as of this publication date.
You should immediately stop using and distributing the product. If you have information about the recall process, you can call Inmar, Inc. at 1-855-410-3565 Monday through Friday between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm EST.
