Aqua Dots Super Studio was a toy which allows you to arrange small plastic beads on a grid. Spraying with water caused the beads to fuse, preserving the pattern. The product was recalled when the glue was found to contain a chemical that metabolized into the drug Gamma Hydroxybutyrate (GHB).

Aqua Dots were an extremely popular toy in the summer of 2007. When two children fell unconscious after swallowing the beads, investigators discovered that the Chinese manufacturer was using a glue that, when swallowed, metabolized into Gamma Hydroxybutyrate (GHB), an illegal drug commonly known as a "date rape" drug.
