Drug toy scare hits US - World - smh.com.au

Have any of you parents bought this toy for your kids?
Very dangerous!

OMG, Skell... thank you for pointing this out!! I have been too busy with school to watch the news.

My little one wants those for Christmas and I was going to start shopping this weekend.

Thanks again. We definitely will NOT be getting this on Christmas morning

I do not know why but I have become very aware, meaning watching the news, listening to the radio and many reports are coming out and just seen it about the toys. It is good to know about this. So many different products recalls and warnings have been coming out lately, especially from China.

Also another thing they are talking about is a superbug that is effecting children in the states. That it is a new form and they need to aggressively treat this superbug or it can cause a lot of problems but they do not expect a vaccine for this type of strain for a couple of years. Scary to think about but good to be aware.

Joe, the superbug you are talking about... is that the MRSA strain of staph?

I saw that too and I hope every parent or grandparent, aunt and uncle, etc. see that and pay close attention to that!

Yes, Joe, the superbug staph has hit the states. My youngest son had it, was even hospitalized for that and then home in strict precautions. Thank goodness the anitbiotic he was put on first worked. Could have been a lot worse for him. Prayers were answered.

The superbug has been around for quite a long time, but used to be hospital acquired only. I was hospitalized with it for 2 weeks about 2 years ago. Little J had it this summer.

People don't take their meds as prescribed and this is what happens.

Sorry Skell, back to your thread. Thank you again for posting this as it was on Little J's "HoHo List"

Hello Skell:

Toys that turn into a party drug?? Where can I get some?

Go to Toys R Us Excon. That is, if the toys are still on the shelf.

Thank you for posting that Skell. I saw it on the news last night and all day today. I hope other members stop by and take a look at that link. Good on you skell!

That's why I was letting all the parents know not to buy them. I want to stock up and sell them at this club I go to! ;) And perhaps keep some for myself... :)
