Bindeez

Bindeez (also marketed as Aqua Dots, Beados, PixOs, 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. Since then, safer replacements have been marketed.
