My child loves to put everything in their mouth, and I'm worried about them eating Play-Doh. What are some potential health risks?

When consumed in small amounts, Play-Doh is generally non-toxic and safe; however, large quantities may cause stomach discomfort, vomiting, or diarrhea. Play-Doh contains wheat flour and salt, which may pose a risk to children with allergies or sensitivities

Furthermore, a child may choke if he or she tries to swallow large pieces of Play-Doh or if it hardens and becomes difficult to chew.

To reduce these risks, children should be supervised while playing with Play-Doh and encouraged to use it for its intended purpose rather than consuming it.

If you've got more insights to add, don't hesitate to let us know.
