Toy distributor Just Fun Toys has recalled all its stocks in South Africa of Bindeez Magic Beads, the distributor said on Thursday. The stock was recalled as a new bead coating, changed by the Chinese manufacturer without consulting its developers, was found to be potentially harmful if ingested.

A voluntary recall of Chinese-made Bindeez toy beads has been extended to South Africa, a media report said on Friday. Certain batches of the beads, which stick together when exposed to water, are coated with a chemical which, when ingested, metabolises into the date-rape drug gamma-hydroxybutyrate.
