Fart Bombs Declared Dangerous By Customs Office

THE Hong Kong customs office has kicked up a stink over what it called a "fart bomb toy," describing it as unsafe.

The small silver metallic bag, showing a cheeky boy with his trousers down emitting a cloud that reads "boom", contains a powdered sulphur compound and a small plastic bag of diluted acid.

The customs office said the package would give off a "disgusting smell" as well as up to 20 milligrams of hydrogen sulphide when pressed.

"Hydrogen sulphide may cause nausea, headache, breathing problems as well as eye irritation. Exposure to high concentration of hydrogen sulphide could cause acute intoxication," the customs office said.

It urged parents to stop children playing with the toy.
