If you get street price for a refund you’ll be able to go on a P&O cruise…

The recall shocked me. I don’t know how the drug fantasy could be found in the glue on the beads.

I am 12 years old, and I absolutely love bindeez. I won some from a competition, and have already used them. I would never think of swallowing them, but does that mean I have to give back the bindeez I have already made a pattern out of? I have no loose beads on them.

Please, someone tell me.

Dear Amber.

(1) It’s not as if there’s a central database of purchasers. (2) The group of concern is those who tend to see brightly coloured objects lying on the ground and think “Nature’s danger colours! Let’s stick it in my mouth!” This really only applies to toddlers and entertainment industry executives.

The manufacturer wants to recall as many as possible because each bead is a potential law suit. I can’t advise you not to return your Bindeez but if you do decide to keep them, then at the very least you should make sure your finished patterns are stored safely out of reach of toddlers and entertainment industry executives.

I KNOW they don’t keep a database of purchasers…

And the finished patterns are stuck on my tv and I used the left over beads to make random patterns so there are no loose ones, and I don’t let toddlers in my room where the actualy beads are on my tv. Thanks anyway.. I’ve decided to keep them because I really like them– It’s not like I’d pop them in my mouth. I’m not an idiot.

Not quite right to say the beads contain GHB — rather, they contain “an adhesive solvent called ‘1,4 butylene glycol’ that simulates the drug gamma hydroxy butyrate (GHB) if swallowed.”
