    Ice Paks sold at Kmart are being recalled over toxin fears

    Ice Paks sold at Kmart are being recalled over toxin fears


    The retailer warns Anko's small and large Gel Paks sold between 2018 to June, may include ethylene glycol .

    If packaging becomes damaged, the toxic substance can leak-out, and if swallowed, possibly cause irreversible injuries or death.

    Affected customers are advised to stop using the Gel Pak immediately, and return to a Kmart store for a refund.
