What happens if an infant eats silica gel?

Silica Gel is non toxic. The reason it is labeled "Do Not Eat" is because it is a choking hazard. If it is eaten, it could become lodged in the throat, in which case an ambulance should be called and the infant taken to the emergency room. If an infant does eat some but is not choking on it, contact the infant's pediatrician for further advice.
