Off topic....another toy recall !

[ALLISA]

Have you all seen the newest toy recall....the Aqua Dots ?

The "glue" used to hold the aqua dots together contains some of the chemicals found in "date rape Drugs".....and are causing seizures or comas in children who have ingested !!

It's very difficult to do, but I'm no longer buying ANY toys (and trying for nothing PERIOD) that are produced outside the US. The standards are just not the same. If people quit buying outsourced products, manufacturers will be forced to move their business HERE where it SHOULD BE, in turn creating millions of jobs AND improving the economy!

For now, I should be able to save all kinds of money since it seems 99% of the stuff on the market is produced elsewhere.

Thanks for that Allisa
They are called bindeez in this country, I haven't heard of a recall here yet, but i was planning to buy some for Paige for Christmas.
I'm going to google it and find out now.

Lorraine, I snipped this from the link Allisa included:

Moose Enterprises said Bindeez and Aqua Dots are made at the same factory, which is in Shenzhen in southern Guangdong province.

So, I'd avoid the Bindeez.
