More toys made in China tainted – this time with a ‘date rape’ drug

That’s it – we’ve just sent another letter to the North Pole canceling our original Christmas wishlist.

All that ‘funny putty’ and those replica Springbok rugby balls we wanted so badly, just isn’t worth the risk now that everything produced in China these days seems to be laced with something that will end up causing people to projectile vomit for 46 hours straight.

The latest craze doing the rounds by laughing West-hating factories in China -  toys containing a chemical that converts into a powerful date rape drug when ingested.

In the United States, the toy goes by the name Aqua Dots, a highly
popular holiday toy distributed by Toronto-based Spin Master Toys. They
are called Bindeez in Australia, where they were named toy of the year
at an industry function earlier this year.

Solution: Get your kids a roll of wire and they can make their own toys.

And even more reason why globalisation is being questioned and people are turning once again to making their own gifts or buying local.
