I did the math, the cord should have been fine with the electric kettle. It wasn’t. Last year, we bit the bullet and bought a half dozen good quality surge protectors for the office. The bargain cords and multi-plug gizmos have been relegated to less vital tasks. I have another one of these KHiND extension cords and I don’t think I will use it for anything.

The thing that disturbs me is that the plug contains a 13 amp fuse that did not blow.

Here is a fluff piece on FOX. At about the two minute mark, the product called Age Intervention Eyelash gets some very positive press. This is the product that was confiscated from a San Jose factory this past week.

The FDA is recommending that anyone who may still have Age Intervention Eyelash stop using it and discard any unused product. The FDA is also advising consumers to consult health care professionals if they have experienced any adverse events that they may be related to the use of Age Intervention Eyelash by Jan Marini Skin Research, Inc..

Most sites that were hyping the toxic toy that is a big story today have already made changes. Right at this moment, this site is still selling them in the UK. If the text is still unchanged when you visit, you will get to see how people convinced parents and kids that little beads ‘that magically join with water.’

This just in…THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS MAGIC!!!

Here is a US site that has a big RECALL notice up, but still has the promotional copy saying that they are MAGIC!!!

Just because the reactive agent that caused the chemically coated beads to stick together was water, consumers could be lulled into thinking that it was an innocuous toy. Wake up you idiots!!!

Here is the CNN Story on the Toxic Beads: Bindeez / Aqua Dots.
