Spin Master Recalls Aqua Dots - Children Became Unconscious After Swallowing Beads

Hazard

The coating on the beads that causes the beads to stick to each other when water is added contains a chemical that can turn toxic when many are ingested. Children who swallow the beads can become comatose, develop respiratory depression, or have seizures.
