Aqua Dots is a toy that creates designs with beads. The beads are set in a grid. When sprayed with water, the design formed with the beads becomes permanent. It was recalled on November 7, 2007 due to "contaminated beads." When the beads were swallowed, the chemical used as a glue metabolized into Gamma Hydroxybutyrate (GHB), which is an illegal drug in the United States.
