Toy Linked to `Date-Rape' Drug Joins List of Recalls (Update2)

By Oliver Staley and Ryan Flinn

Nov. 8 (Bloomberg) -- A Chinese-made toy containing a chemical linked to the so-called date-rape drug was recalled yesterday after two children fell ill.

The recall of Aqua Dots, distributed by Toronto-based Spin Master Ltd., follows the withdrawal of millions of consumer products made in China and Mexico over concerns about high- levels of lead and toxic chemicals.

Aqua Dots, which features small beads that bond with water, are made with a chemical the body converts to gamma-hydroxy butyrate, commonly known as the date-rape drug. Two children in the U.S. who swallowed the beads became comatose, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a statement. The children recovered.

Also today, Marvel Entertainment Inc. said it was voluntarily recalling 110,000 Curious George dolls made in China after tests found lead levels exceeding federal limits. On Nov. 6, Mattel Inc. asked consumers to stop using 196,000 kitchen toys made in Mexico because small pieces may pose a choking hazard to children.

Mattel, the world's largest toymaker, has issued several recalls this year, primarily because the products contained excessive lead in paint or had loose magnets that might detach and be swallowed.

Spin Master said in a statement last night that more than 60 percent of the 4.2 million Aqua Dots units covered by the recall hadn't reached consumers.

Aqua Dots contain 1,4-butanediol, an industrial solvent that the body converts to gamma-hydroxy butyrate, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Web site.

The toys were produced by Melbourne-based Moose Enterprise Pty., Spin Master said.

The product, which is labeled Bindeez outside the U.S., sickened two Australian children as well, Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper reported Nov. 6.

whoo, toys made in Canada are doused in drugs. Who'da thunk?

I seam to be reading about toys being taken off the market for simalar things everyweek in the U.K, most of them are made in china...
