Power Bindeez recover from your product recall?
The award-winning children’s toy was recalled because it contains a chemical that turns into a dangerous party drug when metabolized in the body.
Bindeez they are made in China and are said to contain hundreds of beads that can induce seizures, drowsiness or coma if you eat.
It is a blow to the company that has experienced great growth since winning the Australian toy of the year 2007 prize al Melbourne Toy and Hobby Fair.
The announcement also impacted equity markets around the world.
Shares of the UK-listed toy company, Group of characters it fell 22% following an announcement to customers that it would recall the colorful bead toy Bindeez.
The group is listed in the AIM market in London and distributes Bindeez in the UK and Ireland on behalf of Melbourne Moose enterprise.
“Character Group believes its stock of Bindeez products is compliant with UK safety regulations.
“However, the team, as a precautionary safety measure, commissioned an independent testing laboratory and an EU toxicologist to immediately test and analyze the chemical composition of representative samples of the group’s Bindeez stocks in order to fully satisfy their safety.” , a spokesperson said.

A third-party manufacturer in China was found guilty, but more than 19 million toys had to be recalled globally.
The Bindeez the recall of the product only added fuel to the fire as these angry parents commented Media motivators blog.
“Why do so many offshore manufacturing companies take so little responsibility for the quality of their products?” one parent said.
“Why does someone always have to get sick or even die before action is taken? Why do I hear this claim from being warned over and over again” the manufacturer has substituted an ingredient without our knowledge “?
In my opinion, the final quality test should always remain with the local distributor / importer and you should batch test your products in Australia to see if they meet local safety requirements.
You are fully responsible for your products.
Please, please, for the sake of our children, check your products before putting them on sale. “
Another parent also remarked: “After facing my daughter’s disappointment at losing one of her favorite toys and unknowingly putting all three of my young children at risk, I would never risk buying this product again.”
“I also have a stack of Bindeez in my house. I no longer have receipts and many have been used to “create” works of art. At what point am I getting my money back? ”Said another parent.
