Peking stops the export of dangerous toys

The Chinese autorities have decided to stop the export of dangerous toys. They made the decision to stop the export of 'Aqua Dot' after that two kids got in a coma because they swallowed a pearl of 'Aqua Dot'.

The pearls are produced in China, but it's a canadian company why distributed it, namely 'Spin Master'. The Americzn government removed already 4,2 million units out of the horizontal bars. Nobody knows which substantion contains the poison, which makes it more dangerous.

Also in Australia are three kids adopted in the hospital after getting unconscious because of swallowing the same pearls.

America have also removed 400.000 other product who came out of China, namely toycars and robots. This was mostly because they contained to much lead or had a mistake in the manifacture.

I think that it is a shame that products which contains a poisson, can be exported whitout being controlled, especcialy when it is meant for litlle kids. It think th at it also isn't good for the 'toy-economy' of China. The countries who import toys from China can lose their faith in the Chinese products, and stop to import them, which can have a lot of consequences.
