Dear American parent, is your child a bit colicky? Are you tired of losing sleep because your kids are so spoiled they can't sleep anywhere but your bed? Well the good people at the Canadian-based Spin Master in collusion with respected crony Chinese capitalists have the solution to make sure your kids sleep when you want them to: Aqua Dots.
U.S. safety officials have recalled about 4.2 million Chinese-made Aqua Dots bead toys that contain a chemical that has caused some children to vomit and become comatose after swallowing them.
Scientists have found the popular toy's coating contains a chemical that, once metabolised, converts into the toxic "date rape" drug GHB, or gamma-hydroxy butyrate, US consumer product safety commission spokesman Scott Wolfson told CNN.
Roofies: it isn't just for creepy perverted guys at the bar any longer, it's for the children.
P.S. Am I the only one who remembered this SNL skit when they read about this. Man, I'm dying to see Canada's real-life version of toymaker, Irwin Mainway.
