BINDEEZ _ VERY DANGEROUS product recall

bubblybumble · 10 November 2007 at 2:24AM

:eek: Hi guys im sorry if this is in the wrong place but didnt know where else to put it and felt it was very important if you have bought any of these that you should know that they are very dangerous!!

I bought the Bindeez Delux last week from Amazon and was told by a friend that she had read an article in the Telegraph and they give off fumes like the date rape drug!!!!!

I watched all news channels and didnt see any mention of this!!

Of course I immediately got in touch with Amazon and all Bindeez products are being recalled at no cost to the consumer. I also found out that Argos and Woolwoths have withdrawn them too .

If you, like me have bought these for christmas presents or have any of the beads DO NOT let your children play with them!!
