They're putting GHB in toys now: Millions of toys recalled; contain 'date rape' drug.
I shouldn't make light of the situation, 2 children are seriously ill because of this.
Perhaps we should start making our toys locally?

Geez, this is the third or fourth toy-recall in the past few months in the U.S., isn't it? Are people just getting sloppy or what? It's really sickening.

Things are working out exactly as they're supposed to.
1) Company makes a product cheap/addictive in order to increase profit.
2) Many consumers die horribly as a result.
3) People find out and stop buying from that Company.
4) Company goes out of business. (or changes it's name or pulls strings to avoid bad press in the first place)
The invisible hand of the free market wins again!!!

Okay... howzabout getting the kids books for Christmas? I hear there hasn't been a recall yet on the works of Madeleine L'Engle or Beatrix Potter.
Nice, safe books. The worst kids can ever get from them are paper cuts.

Although the labor in China is cheap, I have the image that the working conditions where the toys are made are also cheap. Perhaps they should stop manifacturing the toys in China. Yes, it would be more expensive but less risky.

unfortunately the profit outweighs the risk for the toy companies. Retracting just one toy range is nothing compared to making all of their toys locally.

Nah, it's just what happens when you start making toys out of bizarre chemicals that fuse when you spray water on them.Originally posted by Feuerstein

(And then sell them to people stupid enough to allow their toddlers to play with easily-swallowed attractively-coloured chemical beads.)
