What happens when you eat polymer clay?

Polymer clay is plastic and is not particularly healthy to eat, like all kins of plastic. However, small amounts of clay digested will not be of any hazard to your health. Polymer clay have today no health hazard label, and is certified as nontoxic, meaning that you will not be poisoned if you eat small amounts of clay. But, since it is plastic, it may cause some problems if eaten in large quantities. I would in any case, toxic or not, recommend you not to eat it, and you should keep it out of reach of small children and pets.
