NEW YORK (CNN) -- U.S. safety officials have recalled about 4.2 million Chinese-made Aqua Dots bead toys that contain a chemical that has caused some children to vomit and become comatose after swallowing them.

Scientists have found the popular toy's coating contains a chemical that, once metabolized, converts into the toxic "date rape" drug GHB, or gamma-hydroxy butyrate, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission spokesman Scott Wolfson told CNN.

I'm sorry, but this made me laugh.

The kids didn't learn when they would eat magnets and clog their intestines, now they may learn not to eat toys if they experience this.

Seriously though, it is bad but parents need to make sure their kids don't eat things like this.

If the kids ate these and Willy Wonka's house it might be true.
