Okay, seriously. Are we going to have to make toys for our kids?
So, this is a fun little blurb I found on Jezebel.com ..
I mean, first it's lead paint, then it's poison in the mouthwash or whatever.. and now, toys that turn into GHB? What the ???
How is this possible? How does a TOY turn into a drug? More importantly, why do people put drugs in their system that are clearly a direct result of metabolizing chemicals that can also be molded into tiny plastic unicorns?
A children's toy is being recalled
in Australia after three kids were hospitalized after ingesting pieces
of it which were found to contain a chemical that, once in the human
body, metabolizes into the party drug GHB. (So much better
than China and their lead Barbies.) The toy, Bindeez, is a craft kit
made up of colorful beads that can be assembled to create designs like
flowers and unicorns, which actually seems perfectly suited for its
euphoric side effects. [The Age via Boing Boing]
