Yes, the blocks contain a non-toxic liquid. However, if a block breaks, it should be discarded to avoid any potential mess or ingestion of the liquid.
Can I put these in the dishwasher?

How many blocks should I use for a lunch bag?
For a standard lunch bag, one to two blocks are usually sufficient to keep contents cool until lunchtime.

What is the warranty period for these freezer blocks?
Information regarding warranty periods is not available in the product description. Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's specific warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Blocks are not freezing solid.
Ensure the freezer temperature is set low enough. Allow more time for freezing, as larger blocks may take longer. Check that the blocks are placed flat and not overcrowded in the freezer.
Blocks are leaking.
Inspect the blocks for any cracks or damage. If a leak is found, discard the damaged block immediately. Ensure the blocks are handled carefully to prevent punctures.
Blocks are not keeping items cool for long.
Ensure the blocks are fully frozen before use. For longer cooling times, use more blocks or consider larger cooling solutions if space allows. Minimize opening the cool bag or lunch box.
