Toy Recall : Aqua Dots contain Toxic Chemicals for Children

This toy is so popular, just about every child wants and now should be taken out of their hands immediatley.

4.2 million Chinese-made Aqua Dots Toys Recalled

A children's toy being pulled from shelves Wednesday evening after it was discovered that it contains a chemical that converts into the date rape drug if swallowed.

Aqua Dots are a Chinese made art toy that allows you to arrange color beads and fuse them together with water. Wednesday stores like Target and Walmart are taking them off the shelves and the government is recalling millions of the packets.

The problem is scientists said the beads contain a chemical that the human body metabolizes into the so-called date rape drug gamma hydroxy butyrate. When eaten, the compound made from common and easily available ingredients can induce unconsciousness, seizures, drowsiness, coma and death.

Again, anyone with Aqua dots in their home should throw them out. The Toy was named toy of the year in Austrailia and recently made Wal-Mart store list of top 12 christmas toys

This recall is caused due to three children in Austrailia being hospitaizied due to injestion of these Aqua Dots.
