Toys For Tots, Not Killer Aqua Dots
Aqua-Dots, a children’s toy made in China marketed to ages four and up, has already put 9 children in the hospital. The jelly-bean look-a-like beads are in fact covered by a toxic chemical coating. The chemical, once ingested, turns into GHB – the Date Rape Drug.
Last week we told you about the millions of toy recalls over the past few months which occurred while Nancy Nord, the chairwoman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, was being flown around the country at the expense of the very toy manufacturers that she is supposed to be regulating.
But while Nord was doing the rounds on talk shows trying to keep her job even more foreign made toys were being recalled and the most appalling, Aqua-Dots, was being yanked from store shelves.
From lead paint to the date rape drug, something has to be done. Someone has to be held accountable. Toys shouldn’t have to include a warning label with possible side effects!
American citizens face overwhelming challenges and insurmountable legal issues when they try to hold foreign manufacturers accountable in court, often making it impossible to do so.

When Congress returns after Thanksgiving, the House of Representatives will consider a bill to increase funding, personnel, and authority for the Consumer Product Safety Commission. By holding foreign manufacturers accountable, this bill would be a momentous step in keeping hazardous toys off the shelves and out of your shopping cart.
Tell Congress To Hold Foreign Manufacturers Accountable Today!
Our children can’t be playing toy box roulette each time they get a new toy. Without holding the manufacturers of these dangerous toys accountable, it won’t be long until one of your loved ones is a victim of one of these toxic toys.
Tell Congress To Hold Foreign Manufacturers Accountable Today!
