My daughter has had Bindeez for quite a while, since they first hit the market, she now has pretty well the whole collection, can only find one receipt, and 90% of the Bindeez are little masterpieces anyway. How do people like her get any of her pocket money or birthday money back? How disappointing Moose you should be ashamed of yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696841.post-67584988090165709542007-11-07T12:27:00.000+09:002007-11-07T12:27:00.000+09:00I am a mother of a baby and a nearly 8 year old, a...I am a mother of a baby and a nearly 8 year old, as a concerned parent i have scoured sites on the internet in regards to the poisoning of the beads... on my first purchase ever on bindeez i noticed the label 5+ and i have also noticed the article about a 19 month old child swallowing them have been covered with the story of the 10 year old swallowing them.<BR/>How is it that if u purchase such items and dont responsibly supervise ur child .. u dont have to accept any blame for what has happened, i understand the original product that was tested before they were realised for sale had none of the poison in it and the company will have bring in harsher testing to ensure it doesnt happen again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696841.post-66292780452837826412007-11-07T09:52:00.000+09:002007-11-07T09:52:00.000+09:00NOT FAIR...my kids love bindeez and now I have to ...NOT FAIR...my kids love bindeez and now I have to take this item off them.

The whole lot went straight to the bin. I also read a release by the company who of course downplayed the potential seriousness of the situation. I haven't kept the receipts so there will be no refund, maybe I could locate the local drug dealer and see if it could take them off my hands. Will NEVER EVER buy this product again.

NSW fair trading nothing. <BR/>Question like how many do the kids need to ingest before they become toxic? Reports seem to vary from some to lots. Even the link that it was GHB was initially obscured buy using its chemical name 4-hydroxybutanoic acid. Wikipedia soon sorted that out.<BR/>This is much worse than the Kraft peanut butter food poisoning. Years later I still refuse to buy kraft peanut butter over that issue.<BR/>How do tell your little girl that the art she has loving created has to be binned 'cause it may kill her?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696841.post-85757512716947853722007-11-06T20:05:00.000+09:002007-11-06T20:05:00.000+09:00I too have a few sets of Bindeez my daughter recei...I too have a few sets of Bindeez my daughter received them for her birthday have all been opened only have the box for 1 set cause we combined everything together.
