Bindeez
Craft toy / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bindeez (also marketed as Aqua Dots,[1] Beados,[2] PixOs,[3] and Aquabeads) are a children's toy, consisting of small coloured plastic beads that can be arranged in designs created by Canadian toy company Spin Master.

In 2007, Bindeez was subject to a multi-national product recall after it was found that the Wangqi Product Factory in Shenzhen, China had, in some shipped toys, used a cheap chemical that was a pharmacologically active sedative prodrug instead of the safer chemical specified by the designers, resulting in the illness and hospitalization of some children who ingested the beads.[4] Since then, safer replacements have been marketed.
