I almost bought these for my boys, but my gut told me not too....this is very scary!! I saw a whole display of them at walmart tonight too...I bet they are pulled overnight.

I just wondering if all of this stuff is done intentionally, since we are enemies to everyone.

I just emailed them today about it. I ordered mine back on 10/5 and it's showing as pending for the 15th of this month. Anyway I emailed them yesterday to say that I ordered them a month ago, my cc was charged and the bill is due but I have yet to receive them. they said they were shipping them today and sorry for the delay. I'm going to give it until Monday and if I don't see them at my door (which I really don' twant them now ANYWAY!) then I'm going to dispute the charge on my cc as never have received them.
One thing I learned doing accounting work is the cc companies usually side with the consumer! April

I just emailed them and asked in light of the recall if they would please cancel my order and refund my charge. We'll see. I will dispute the charge if need be. They should issue the refund if they've been recalled I would think. Thanks for your experience.

BTW, aren't you leaving for Disney on Monday??

If you google "aquadots recall", you'll see that this isn't made here, and it was actually recalled in Australia (product called Bindeez there http://au.news.yahoo.com/071106/2/14uw3.html) before the US recalled it. So I doubt it's against "us".

Elsewhere I saw this: "It's not that someone put the drug into the beads found in Bindeez (top left.) It's just that when swallowed, the chemicals used in their manufacture turn into the drug inside the body."

Of course, now that I think about it, making something that could look like candy, and that has a purpose to stick together in a clump when around water, wasn't the BEST idea ever.

Hello Everyone-

I just read an article about an Aqua Dots recall and had to post here right away because I know many of you purchased this toy -- apparently when the little aqua dot beads are ingested they metabolize into something similar to the date rape drug! Causing seizures, unresponsive coma, etc. I got this info from fox news - not sure if I am allowed to link here, but it is a front page story there. Please check it out if you have this toy!! I don't know if they have recalled them yet or what they are replacing with - I read the thing so fast and came right here. I think Toys R Us is putting a 'stop sale' on them. I hope all of your littles ones are safe!!
