Hey, just wanted to mention this. After my eldest got hurt on one of the Xmas gifts, I decided to do some looking around to double check on the toys they got for the holidays.
The tent/tube didn't come up as a recall, but I did find out that the Pixo's my middle guy had been asking for are a rebranding of Aqua Dots which were recalled earlier due to the adhesive turning into the "date rape drug" when ingested causing coma or other injury.
We haven't opened them, so we're taking them back to the store. My kindy wouldn't eat them, but with a 2 year old and two dogs in the house... I'd rather not see any of them slip into a coma over the Xmas presents. I kind of figure it would be just our luck after the stitches. Yeesh!
It is possible the formula has changed since the name change, but I don't trust the luck with the age of my littlest n' whatnot. If I had known I would have made the informed decision not to purchase the item--to err on the side of caution.
We haven't had toy injuries or trouble with recalled toys in the past (other than some lead tained Cars stuff a while back). I know everything has certain amount of risk to it, but I just wanted to toss that info out there in case anyone else was clueless to the name change like moi.
