What Are The Ill Effects Of Swallowing Soft Vinyl?

Hi there, just came back from the er with my 9 month old, earlier this evening he swallowed a quarter size thin peice of what feels and looks like soft vinyl, his breathing was great and his throat clear, but i m still worried about this damaging him. It came off of a soft toy ball which was made in 2002, I m also a little worried about what kinda chemicals could be in the peice he swallowed. This happened almost 8 hours ago now, if there was anything toxoc would he have developed symptoms by now?

Hello,

No need to any worries if eight hours are passed and no symptoms appeared. Check for a cough and vomiting and monitor for pulse and temperature.
