Toys - plastic bead activity sets
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Bindeez, Aqua Dots, and Aquaperl plastic bead activity sets are being recalled because the beads are coated with 1,4 Butanediol (BDO), a toxic substance. If a child ingests the beads, BDO can convert in the body to gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), which can cause dizziness, cramps, unconsciousness, coma, and death. Multiple incidents have been reported worldwide.
The recall affects several Aquaperl products sold in France, including mini kits and refill packs with various themes (animals, ocean, fire man, and dinosaur). The importer is voluntarily withdrawing these products from the market and recalling them from consumers. The source does not specify what remedy consumers should pursue.
