Doctors couldn&#8217;t figure out what was wrong. It turned out she had ingested the small, water-absorbing beads her older sister was playing with. The beads can expand to 100 times their size when exposed to water.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;During surgery, they found the water beads had caused a blockage inside of her small intestine,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/the-dangers-of-water-beads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Haugen told CBS News<\/a>. &#8220;Because the water beads were marketed as non-toxic eco-friendly and biodegradable, everybody thought that she would be fine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But in the weeks that followed, Kipley began having trouble with coordination and responding to commands. Doctors confirmed she was experiencing developmental delays, leading to a diagnosis of toxic brain encephalopathy.<\/p>\n<p>Kipley&#8217;s case was recently been published in the journal <a href=\"https:\/\/publications.aap.org\/pediatrics\/article\/155\/2\/e2023065575\/200683\/Intestinal-Obstruction-and-Neurotoxicity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Pediatrics<\/a>. Haugen is one of the first parent advocates to co-author a case report in the journal. The authors are also calling for warning labels about the risks of ingestion on all products containing water beads. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Water beads are made of poly acrylamide and acrylamide is a known neurotoxin. Our consumer products and the chemicals used to make them are not well regulated,&#8221; Dr. Elizabeth Friedman, of the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine, told CBS News.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kipley, now 8 years old, isn&#8217;t alone. More than 7,800 ingestion injuries were treated in U.S. emergency departments from 2016 to 2022, according to data from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpsc.gov\/Safety-Education\/Safety-Education-Centers\/Water-Beads-Information-Center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Consumer Product Safety Commission<\/a>. In 2023, 10-month-old child died after swallowing water beads.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It breaks my heart, what happened to Kipley. And for me, it&#8217;s been very healing to be able to know that that pain has a purpose,&#8221; Haugen said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" alt=\"kipley-mom.jpg \" height=\"426\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/03\/abf2d1f5-8467-4585-895f-6d7d8671f607\/thumbnail\/620x426\/fbfd15090651f4785eb836e738446264\/kipley-mom.jpg?v=aaeeb2bb1dd1cd7107e4d78154d17e02 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/03\/abf2d1f5-8467-4585-895f-6d7d8671f607\/thumbnail\/1240x852\/d6c1c853e529ee97700c4666fe351abb\/kipley-mom.jpg?v=aaeeb2bb1dd1cd7107e4d78154d17e02 2x\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">Ashley Haugen, right, with her daughter Kipley, who was injured as a toddler after swallowing water beads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                CBS News<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Haugen runs an advocacy website called <a href=\"https:\/\/thatwaterbeadlady.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">That Water Bead Lady<\/a>\u00a0to help families whose children have been injured by consumers products.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kipley had this message for lawmakers: &#8220;Please work together to ban water beads.
