Children's game recall
Bindeez games had been removed from supermarkets' shelves all over in the world.
The children's game must be recalled after it was discovered
that beads used in it could metabolize into a date-rape drug. The move came
after two toddlers required hospital treatment in Australia after ingesting
beads used in the game. Small colored beads are stuck together in the game to
form shapes and then made to bind using water. However, these beads apparently
contain a chemical that reacts with stomach acid to form a drug known as
gamma-hydroxy-butyrate, or fantasy. Bindeez, which won Toy of the Year at this
year's Melbourne Toy and Hobby Fair, is produced by Melbourne-based Moose
Enterprises but is manufactured in China.
