GHB Dispensing Toy Recalled

Can you imagine the potential for kandy at raves!? All the girlies would go crazy for my candy! (and not remember a minute of it)

So is it drug possession if you own this?
I'd like to see the authorities charge Jane Smith out there in the 'burbs for buying this shit for little Susie.
 
No surprise here!

Schoolies seeking Bindeez as black market opens up
By Robyn Ironside, Courier Mail
November 09, 2007

SCHOOLIES seeking drug-contaminated Bindeez on the black market have been warned by health authorities the banned toy was "dangerous".

Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young has appealed to young people to resist the temptation of swallowing Bindeez beads, found to contain the date-rape drug GHB or Fantasy.

Dr Young admitted she was "very, very concerned young people would go out and experiment" with the beads, now banned throughout Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and North America.

"They've got to treat them as a dangerous drug, because that's what they are," she said.

Eight children have been admitted to hospital after ingesting the beads following confirmation of two more cases in Canada yesterday.

A toddler from Toowoomba, three children from New South Wales and two more in New Zealand have also received hospital treatment.

The New South Wales' Opposition Fair Trading spokeswoman Catherine Cusack said yesterday measures were needed to remove from the community boxes of Bindeez that had already been sold.

Black market potential

"I've heard stories of people actually offering to buy these beads and so there's a real potential now for a black market, in a very dangerous form of drug taking," she said.

But Drug Arm's director of addiction research and education Caroline Salom said "there were easier ways to get GHB than by swallowing dozens of plastic beads".

She said the chance of Bindeez being circulated at Schoolies' Week celebrations on the Gold Coast next week were remote as most celebrating students were "hell bent on drinking lots of alcohol".

Meanwhile, the principal of a Cairns Catholic school where four Year 7 children were referred to a doctor on Wednesday after being seen with Bindeez said the incident was "completely innocent".

Education Queensland said there had been no other incidents of children taking Bindeez to school, since the beads were banned this week.

Premier Anna Bligh said the case highlighted how more stringent testing of toys was needed to protect children.

Attorney-General Kerry Shine said those using the toy for recreational drug purposes could still face prosecutions under the Drugs Misuse Act.

Who the fuck calls GHB "fantasy"?

Exactly what I was thinking. It's probably a local drug term quoted in that article from that area. I'm trying to find some of these bindeez though would cool to keep them for a while as a reminder of how much some company fucked up.
 
I doubt the black market potential will be that high, because who knows how much GHB or GBL or whatever (they said it converted to GHB) each bead contains.
 
we just 3 days ago got around to pulling these toys off the shelves ...

BUT we had 4 boxes of these recalled toys, and could only find 3, so somewhere in that building it is laying around ... i hope not on shelves ... but more likely an employee stole them. at least that is what management at this time is assuming.
 
so how many beeds you have to eat ? Did they report any conversion rations ? WTF are kids doing eatingd beads anyway ?

And with all these toy fuck ups I hope North American toy makers see a huge opportunity , all they have to advertise on the toy box is NOT MADE IN CHINA and it will fly off the shelves

Actually, I ran across it called fantasy in WA.. (didn't touch it then cos I watched people fall over on it and avoided it, didn't look like much fun to me...) so some do call it that.. Never heard of 'juice' til I moved across the borders. That said, nieces didn't get sent groovy little Beedees for Christmas... sent dress up costumes instead. Can't be responsible for giving pre-schoolers a habit now, can I?

(Unless they eat their dressup costumes, then I'm screwed I guess.... excess polyester ingestion?)=D
