Aqua Dots Recall
by QuestionGirl • 11:22 am

This is getting ridiculous…….but hey, maybe when the kids get loaded on the GHB they’ll be even more creative!

Just in Time for Christmas

Target, Toys R Us, Amazon and Wal-Mart, among other retailers are all scrambling to pull the latest hot toy off store shelves. Not because it’s almost Christmas and it’s considered a top Wal-Mart toy for 2007.

“Aqua Dots Super Studio” was being heavily promoted this season as a fun arts-and-crafts project that combines, “creativity and crafting to create multiple designs - just add water!”

Adding water or saliva is the problem.

In an unusually strong warning, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) says that a solvent used to manufacture the toy’s beads at a Chinese plant can, when ingested, convert into a chemical that’s found in the date rape drug known as GHB.

More than four million of the toys, distributed by the Canadian company, Spin Master are being recalled. They-ve been on store shelves since April and may be in a closet waiting to be wrapped.

And if that’s not enough, you have to worry about the toys you give your animals, too.
