It seems that all this year all we've heard about in regards to children's toys is the words lead and China. The toy and retail industries are worried about the potential harm to their Christmas profits cause of it. Now, well now the bar has been raised once again in the form of Aqua Dots.
U.S. safety officials have recalled about 4.2 million Chinese-made Aqua Dots bead toys that contain a chemical that has caused some children to vomit and become comatose after swallowing them.I love how they were "named Australia's toy of the year", this is truly the best news story this week. You thought your kids were in danger of lead, lead is merely child's play compared to what hell this toy can unleash. I wonder how many pedophiles ran out and purchased these by container.
Scientists have found the popular toy's coating contains a chemical that, once metabolized, converts into the toxic "date rape" drug GHB, or gamma-hydroxy butyrate, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission spokesman Scott Wolfson told CNN.
