More Dots!
2007 November 8
As if lead wasn’t bad enough:
Aqua Dots, distributed in North America by Toronto-based Spin Master, are liquid-filled beads that can be arranged into designs and sprayed with water to hold them together. But if swallowed, the beads’ coating reportedly metabolizes into the hallucinogenic “date rape” drug gammahydroxybutyrate, also known as GHB. An overdose can cause seizures, coma or death.

Yes, the dots are made in China.
