Well they have recalled another toy made in China. Aquadots was recalled as of last night. We just bought this for our son this weekend and i just got online to see about replacement beads and there is a huge recall. If ingested they have caused seizures, comas, vomiting, etc. Please see Important Information Plus if you search aqua dots all kinds of info is posted.
 
I was just going to read that article then post, man what's up with so many recalls lately?!? Scary!
 
I was about to buy this for my son for Christmas. Thanks for posting, now I won't!!
 
My dad called me first thing this morning to tell me about this recall - my oldest son's been asking for them for months, but I was waiting to buy them for Christmas. Good thing I waited!
 
my daughter already had them, I just threw them away!
 
Thanks for posting, I hadn't heard about that. My friend was gonna buy those for her daughter, so I will have to inform her about that.
 
My dh & I couldn't believe it when we saw this on the news; they had traces of the date rape drug in them......gosh it's getting scary to buy toys now!
 
I can't believe that they weren't tested. It happens when they put them in their mouth. Ummmm, I guess these toy manufacturers need to wake up, kids put stuff in their mouths!! Especially the aquadots, they look like candy!
 
Exactly!! I'm so glad I hadn't bought them yet - I'm sure my youngest would have tried to put them in his mouth!
