There has been an Aqua Dots recall by Spin Master because some children have swallowing the beads and become unconscious, this has made the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) in cooperation with Spin Master announced a voluntary recall of 4.2 million Aqua Dot products. According to the CPSC, the problem is due to the coating on the beads making them stick together when water is added, so if many are ingested they can turn toxic because of a chemical they contain.
If children do ingested the beads they can slip into a comatose state for a period of time, have seizures, or develop respiratory depression.
I heard this on the radio this morning. I was like woaaaah. Apparently they have a similar effect to a date rape drug. Like seriously how can the manufacturer not know that? Isn't that like part of the tests they do in order to put the toy on the market?
