trigger previously undetected epileptic symptoms or seizures in persons
who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone in
your family, has an epileptic condition or has had seizures of any
kind, consult your physician before playing. IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE

child experience any of the following health problems or symptoms:
