Cancer-causing chemicals have been found in children's balloons sold at marketplaces such as Wilko , The Range and eBay. Balloons containing up to six times the legal limit of carcinogens were freely available for UK consumers through leading online marketplaces, as revealed by a Which? investigation.

After testing 21 packs of latex balloons from seven online marketplaces, some of which had been purchased for children's parties, the consumer champion found that eight contained concentrations of potentially carcinogenic chemicals far above the UK’s permitted limit, indicating that they were being sold illegally. This included balloons from AliExpress, Debenhams, eBay, The Range (Wilko) and Shein.
