No, it's not lead paint this time...but the problem toy imorted from China is even more dangerous. Marketed as Bindeez or Aquadots are small beads that if ingested breaks down into a chemical that is also known as the date rape drug, gamma hydroxy butyrate, and in small children can lead to paralysis and even death.
Watch the AP Breaking News Story
Australian officials demanded the immediate recall of BENDEEZ which was named the "Toy of the Year" a few months ago and was thought to be a best-seller here in the U.S. for the holidays as well. I know I saw them advertized just a few weeks ago on television as Aquadots and considered them as a stocking stuffer...
If you have children or someone with children...spread the word that this toy is dangerous and don't take any chances. Just throw it.
