Social Toy recall
In Nov 2007 Moose Enterprise announced an immediate and voluntary Australia wide product recall for its Bindeez Beads toy after being informed that some children who had swallowed the beads required medical attention. The beads were found to contain a chemical that the human body turns into the party drug "fantasy", or "GHB". Bindeez were subsequently renamed Beados.
