What Is It?
It's a Disney tie-in toy for the movie Flubber of course. It's a synthetic rubber substance made of butadiane.
What Happened?
An outbreak of rashes in schools all over where Flubber was sold. The company that made this substance denied a tie-in, but a warning was issued.
Aftermath?
The outbreaks of dermatitis continued until 1963 when they finally banned this product. The recalled product was of no use so it was buried in a hole somewhere.
