There’s been another toy recall, will it ever stop? This time it’s Spinmaster’s Aqua Dots, a toy that’s been touted as one of this Christmas season’s hottest toys! If children swallow the dots the beads are transformed into the date rate drug. A couple children have slipped into comas after ingesting the dots. Check out more details at the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
