Aqua Dots Recall: You Don’t Want to Miss it

by

Aqua Dots RecallIt seems that every week there is a new toy being ripped off the shelf because of another toy recall. Just in time for the holidays? Are there any toys out there that are safe these days?

Shocking news to consumers as this time it’s a toy company that doesn’t have lead, instead it can be much more fatal. This time it’s a toy that consists of a drug…a date rape drug called gamma hydroxy butyrate. The beads in this toy are what is so harmful.

PARENTS PLEASE RETURN THIS ITEM IF YOU BOUGHT IT! While most recalls are those that you might ignore, this one is one you SHOULD NOT. The date rape chemical can cause seizures, coma, unconsciousness and of course…death. No one wants to be planning a funeral for the holiday season instead of making a list of toys up with their child for Santa.

Currently only 5 children have been hospitalized for swallowing the beads, two from the United States and three from Australia. I’m just hoping the number stays that way. 4.2 million toys are expected to be taken off the shelves, that’s a lot of products that they are going to be replacing. If you do take the kits back you can get replacement beads or trade it in for a toy of equal value. My own daughters wanted these for Christmas, I’m very thankful I never bought them.
