There are safety concerns about a product that is on the Christmas wish lists of many children this year - slime.

While pregnant women are being warned to stay away from certain kids' slime kits.

Six out of 13 slime and putty toys failed to meet EU safety standards when tested for a chemical called boron by consumer group Which? in the UK.

Boron is a common ingredient in slime that helps give it its stickiness.

The watchdog said it had informed manufacturers and retailers about its findings and asked that the products be removed from sale.
