Is the liquid in snow globes dangerous?

SNOW GLOBES: The “snow” is calcium carbonate, which is non-toxic. The liquid can be water, glycerin or an extremely toxic product called ethylene glycol. Pets have been poisoned after licking fluid from a broken snow globe.Click to see full answer. Hereof, do snow globes have antifreeze in them?It seems that some snow globes are filled not only with water, but with ethylene glycol – good old-fashioned antifreeze. Antifreeze is used in cars. It serves to cool the radiator and is also found in brake fluid, motor oil and many de-icing products. All ethylene glycol antifreeze has a greenish color.Furthermore, are snow globes filled with water? Water. Some snow globes are filled with clear water at room temperature. Some globes are filled with distilled water. If the water is too hot or too cold it will create condensation on the inside and outside of the globe. Subsequently, question is, what is the liquid used in snow globes? Liquid used inside the snow globe is comprised of light oil and a mixture of water and antifreeze. Components found in the mixture also include glycerin and glycol, which prevent the “snowflakes” from falling to the bottom of the globe too quickly after being shaken.Can snow globes explode?I would have thought that the sun’s UV rays can cause discoloration, and since snow globes are purely decorative, you’d want to keep it out of the sun so that your memento doesn’t fade. However, “it might explode and/or catch on fire” is a far more worthwhile reason of a warning sticker.
