"HONG KONG - China-made toys seized in Hong Kong were being tested Thursday after scientists in Australia found that similar ones contained a chemical that converts into a powerful "date rape" drug when ingested, officials said.
At least five children â two in the United States and three in Australia â have been hospitalized after swallowing the toy beads, which are used in arts and crafts projects. They can be arranged into designs and fused when sprayed with water.
Australian scientists say a chemical coating on the beads, when ingested, metabolizes into the so-called "date-rape" drug gamma hydroxy butyrate. When eaten, the compound â made from common and easily available ingredients â can induce unconsciousness, seizures, drowsiness, coma and death."
Is there more to the higher cost of our toys than labor?
Answer
First our animals...now our kids.
This is a huge concern for parents and grandparents.
It's time to say no to any manufactured products from overseas that haven't been tested and approved.
With the Holidays coming, (I'm being very PC here while gritting my teeth) I'm adding this link to American made toys.
