Aqua Dots - Lawsuit, Lawyer and Recall Information

URGENT WARNING: A chemical coating on Aqua Dots converts to a powerful “date rape” drug when ingested.  After swallowing Aqua Dots, 2 children in the United States and 3 children in Australia were hospitalized.  In one case in the United States, a 20-month-old child swallowed several dozen beads.  He became dizzy and vomited several times before slipping into a comatose state for a period of time.  The second U.S. case involved a child who vomited, slipped into a comatose state, and was hospitalized for 5 days. We are representing 2 children in the United States who were hospitalized after swallowing Aqua Dots.

Spin Master Recalls Aqua Dots – Children Became Unconscious After Swallowing Beads

November 7, 2007 - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

Name of Product: Aqua Dots
Units: About 4.2 million
Distributor: Spin Master, of Toronto, Canada
Hazard: The coating on the beads that causes the beads to stick to each other when water is added contains a chemical that can turn toxic when many are ingested. Children who swallow the beads can become comatose, develop respiratory depression, or have seizures.
Incidents/Injuries: CPSC has received two reports over the past several days of children swallowing Aqua Dots. A 20-month-old child swallowed several dozen beads. He became dizzy and vomited several times before slipping into a comatose state for a period of time, was hospitalized, and has since fully recovered. A second child also vomited and slipped into a comatose state and was hospitalized for five days.  [You will need an experienced product liability lawyer for your Aqua Dots lawsuit.  Pritzker | Ruohonen has the experience to know what a case is worth and fight for ample compensation.] 
Description: The recalled toy is a craft kit which allows children to create various multi-dimensional designs using small colored beads. The beads fuse together when sprayed with water. The recall applies to all models of Aqua Dots. The product is available in various different kits with accessories such as a drying fan, applicator pen, design templates for the beads, and spray bottle. The product is labeled for ages 4+.
Sold at: Mass merchandisers nationwide from April 2007 through November 2007 for between $17 and $30.  [Defendants in an Aqua Dots lawsuit would include Spin Master Ltd., the manufacturer of Aqua Dots and other parties that may be responsible for the damage to your child.  If you have questions about a lawsuit for damages from Aqua Dots, a lawyer at Pritzker | Ruohonen is available for a free consultation.  If you retain our law firm to represent you and your child, you will not have to pay any amounts up front.  We are paid only if you win the case.]
