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.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation withthe firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of thefollowing consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalledproducts immediately unless otherwise instructed.
Name of Product: Aqua Dots
Units: About 4.2 million
Distributor: Spin

Be careful! Those Chinese toys may injur!
Would it be safer to just let them play with firecrackers?

I couldn’t believe it when I heard it myself. Thanks for in forming.
I wouldn’t buy anything that had the auqa label now at all, even if it was just the auqa dots.

Question by BeamMeUpMom: On what date did the recent peanut butter recall begin?

I bought some recently which has the recalled product code. However, I think I bought it after the recall began and assumed it would be safe since it wasn’t recalled. Now I’m annoyed. What day did the recall begin, anyway?
I bought my jar on the 10th or 11th of Feb. I’m wondering if it was recalled anywhere before this date.

I remember hearing about the recall of Peter Pan and thought “see….brand name doesn’t necessarily equal quality or safety” I didn’t know it was the stuff from Wal-Mart too until after we started eating it. oops.
Oh, I absolutely threw it out. My husband has a compromised immune system because he has rheumatoid arthritis. RA is often treated with immuno-supressants. I kept the lids, of course, and they are being returned for a refund.
Understand the question. I want to know when it started BECAUSE I want to know if the store where I bought my peanut butter at had kept the recalled peanut butter on its shelves after the recall. So, YES, it does matter because I assumed what was on the shelves was NOT recalled when I was buying my peanut butter.

I’m an educated person I know time doesn’t change the contents of a jar. Sheesh!
