Aqua Dots turn into GHB

WASHINGTON
Quote:
At least five children, two in the U.S. and three in Australia, had to be hospitalized after swallowing the toy beads, which are used in arts and crafts projects.Officials in Hong Kong are testing Chinese-made toys for a chemical that turns into a powerful "date rape" drug when ingested.For additional information, contact Spin Master at 1-800-622-8339 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. EST Monday through Friday.
Australian scientists said a chemical coating on the beads metabolizes into the so-called "date rape" drug, gamma-hydroxybutyrate or GHB, and can cause seizures, coma and death.

My guess is its going to be a good year for American made toys and books or clothes. What a mess. And how many more children have to get hurt before something is done?
