Ain’t this a blip? I kept telling my son he wasn’t getting those aqua dots. I just kept picturing him swallowing them or feeding them to the dog. Boy am I glad that I followed my gut and told him no. Look at this:
Scientists say a chemical coating on the beads, when ingested, 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.
Millions of toys found to contain ‘date rape’ drug – Nov. 7, 2007
Can you imagine? I am so glad that he isn’t getting this toy. It’s coming down to the point where I want all his toys to be homemade. China is trying to kill us. They are getting to the kids first. After all, the children ARE our future. Call me crazy. Call me a conspiracy theorist. After the past few months with thousands of toys being recalled, you can’t tell me that there is no basis for this belief.

This recall is totally unreal! I mean the lead paint is bad enough but how can a date rape drug get on these beads? This looks to me like something intentional.
That is really scarry, thanks for letting us know about it.
