Click here to listen to Newsradio 620 WTMJ's Chris Lato report on how a baby suffered a coma after ingesting Aqua Dots.
The worldwide Aqua Dots toy recall didn't come soon enough for a Milwaukee family.
14-month old Rylie Batcheller swallowed some of her big sister's Aqua Dots, and went into a coma and had to be flown to Children's Hospital.
The toy's coating contains the date rape drug GHB, which can cause comas, seizures and death if ingested by kids.
Parents Kelly and Jason Batcheller can't believe what happened.
"It's crazy," said Jason. "She's 14 months old and she's already been drugged and put on a helicopter, all because of a toy."
They say it was the scariest moment of their lives.
"You're drug dealing in a shiny box and selling it at Toys r Us," said Jason. "I don't understand. Somebody definitely dropped the ball. Shouldn't somebody be testing things like this?"
The Aqua Dots were made in Chinese factories.
