First Lead in Toys, and now this recall: Toy beads contain 'date rape' drug

Another Chinese made product with dangerous mystery ingredients being recalled...

Quote:
WASHINGTON -- Millions of Chinese-made toy beads for children have been pulled from shelves in North America and Australia after scientists found they contained a chemical that converts into a powerful "date rape" drug when ingested.

Two children in the U.S. and three in Australia were hospitalized after swallowing the beads.

In the United States, the toy goes by the name Aqua Dots, which are distributed by Spin Master Toys based in Toronto. They are called Bindeez in Australia, where they were named toy of the year at an industry function earlier this year.

The toy recalls sure are getting weird ... perhaps the folks who awarded the Aqua Dots beads "toy of the year" consumed a bunch before-hand
