Talk about bad P.R.

Given the past year of poisoned pet food, toxic toothpaste, lead-steeped paints ... imagine a worse headline for your trade image:

"4.2 million Chinese-made toys contaminated with a powerful 'date rape' drug"

Even better, the toy looks like rave candy!

NEW YORK (CNN) -- U.S. safety officials have voluntarily recalled about 4.2 million Chinese-made Aqua Dots toys contaminated with a powerful "date rape" drug that has caused some children to vomit and lose consciousness upon ingesting the contents.

Bindeez, which were named Australia's toy of the year, contain a chemical that converts into a "date rape" drug.

Scientists have found the highly popular holiday toy contains a chemical that, once metabolized, converts into the toxic "date rape" drug GHB (gamma-hydroxy butyrate), U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) spokesman Scott Wolfson told CNN.

"Children who swallow the beads can become comatose, develop respiratory depression or have seizures," a CPSC statement warned.

Ahhh, globalism. All I can say is that there must be a *lot* of lead in China.
