aquadots recall

[holbear]

Very dangerous! They are saying that even if kids don't eat the pellets, the residue that sticks on their hands if they get wet while playing with them can be very dangerous if it gets ingested. This was way up on my girls' Xmas lists.

Millions of Chinese-made toys for children have been pulled from shelves in North America and Australia after scientists found they contain 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.

It's not China that needs to get their crap together. It us. We need to spend a little more money and purchase items from countries that have laws and codes that protect the consumer. Or we can continue to support countries that have no health code laws that mass produce crap made by workers who get paid less than the guy who sells oranges down the block from me.

I know it's just me and I have only to buy for me, but this is getting insane, all these recalls. When I have to do Christmas shopping for the few kids that I buy for, I'm going to buy things made in the US. Maybe I'll spend more money but in the long run it's better than having a poisoned kid.
