You're probably asking about the little packet which you find in boxes of new shoes, which is there to absorb moisture.

Surprise:

Though they're marked Do Not Swallow, these silica gel packets are completely non-toxic, though there is of course the possibility of choking (as with any small item).

However, while silica gel is the most common desiccant being used, other less benign substances are occasionally used. Also, a few varieties of silica gel come coated with cobalt chloride, which is considered toxic. The U.S. National Library of Medicine deems swallowing a large amount at once not too dangerous, but grants that it may cause nausea and vomiting. For that reason, experts recommend calling a poison control center if you ingest a "do not eat" packet, just to be safe.
