Toy of Year drug shock
Authorities in NSW have placed an immediate ban on a popular craft toy after its beads were found to contain the toxic drug GHB, or fantasy.
The toy "Bindeez", which took out the 2007 Toy of the Year award at the Melbourne Toy and Hobby fair, contains hundreds of beads which can induce seizures, drowsiness or a coma, if eaten.
All Bindeez goods would be removed from sale, Minister for Fair Trading Linda Burney said today, and households with the toy were urged to remove it from any area where it could be accessed by children.
"This Bindeez product is Australian Toy of the Year, it is extraordinarily popular," the minister told reporters today.
"We issuing right now a total banning order right across NSW."
The beads should contain a non-toxic glue but instead they contains a different chemical which the body metabolises into gamma-hydroxy butyrate (GHB), also known as fantasy or Grievous Bodily Harm.
Ms Burney said an investigation into the toy, which is manufactured in Hong Kong, also would look at whether the substitution was deliberate.
Two children in NSW, a two-year-old boy and a ten-year-old girl, have been admitted to hospital in the past ten days after eating the beads.
