Aqua Dots recall
Spin Master Recalls Aqua Dots. Small colorful beads can be made by children that then are used to construct objects. The idea is attractive and I'm sure many responsible adults bought the product to help their children in creative play. Unfortunately the small Aqua Dots are colorful and just the right size to be candy. The covering of the dots metabolizes into a drug often referred to as the "date rape" drug. It causes the children become confused, then suffer lose of muscle control. Depending on the amount consumed, it can cause amnesia, coma and even death.
Obviously our regulatory agencies are not providing enough protection for consumers and their children. Hopefully the Administration will not further compromise the last line of defense by what it refers to as "Tort Reform"--a code word for taking away the Constitutional right of consumers to sue for damages resulting from unreasonably dangerous products.
