File this one under "Holy Crap!"


I'll stick with good ol' lead paint thank you very much.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- U.S. safety officials have recalled about 4.2 million Chinese-made Aqua Dots bead toys that contain a chemical that has caused some children to vomit and become comatose after swallowing them. Scientists have found the popular toy's coating contains a chemical that, once metabolized, converts into the toxic "date rape" drug GHB, or gamma-hydroxy butyrate, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission spokesman Scott Wolfson told CNN.

Also recalled were the slightly less popular "Kiddie Good-Time Rave Kit" and the "That's My Smack!" board game.
