You people just must be slow or something and cant operate a simple childrens toy,me and my son havent had any problems at all,works exactly as described for us,the beads stay together.As for the beads containing GHB,how about you just watch your kid like you should and make sure they dont ingest enough to kill themselves even if they were laced with a chemical such as GHB.

These suck. I bought them for my kids and they don’t work. They just make a sticky mess and the beads stick to the molds and don’t come out easily. If you don’t spray them enough, they don’t hold together and fall apart, if you spray too much, they’re just impossible to get out of the mold without getting the sticky adhesive everywhere and they take forever to dry . Save your $$ and buy the ones that you use your clothes iron to melt together, you’ll be happier and have less of these little beads all over the place. I can’t believe they can sell such garbage.

I am shocked! I went to pick up my son from daycare today and as we walked out he asked if we were still going to make pixos when we got home (a gift i bought him for xmas). anyhow, the daycare teacher then informs me that they were toxic and had been recalled. Im not sure it that is true. From what i have read, aqua dots was recalled last year, but pixos is fr the same company and basically the same product, wether they have changed the formula or not, i trashed it. Dylan cried when i told him we couldnt play, and i felt terrible. Thats sum bull, what a shame!

I purchased this item for my 6 year old daughter for Christmas this year. It is JUNK!! It doesn’t do what they claim it will do. Sure the machine operates and the pixos fall down the tube and you can place them on the template, but don’t think it’s going to stay together. It doesn’t. Even after 5 to 20 minutes under the drying fan it still falls apart when you attempt to remove it from the design plate. IT IS JUNK!! Then when I called to ask for my money back they told me there was nothing they could do because it had been more than 30 days. Who waits to get their childs Christmas present until the last minute?? So we are stuck with this JUNK and out almost $40.00.

Vince – What kind of person uses that kind of language, especially about children’s toys? I can’t take your opinion seriously about anything!

wasted money, daughter is really upset. do not recommend this toy, buy something else. just our opinion. good luck. always read reviews, scored really low, but i still bought it because the kids begged me for it.

Ok, I bought this for a christmas present for a boy i babysit for and he loves it … i was un aware of the GHB drug that was in aqua dots, however … pixos is re formulated… and is safe, to even prove it, the families 3 year old put a completes pixo in his mouth… nothing happened to him he is healthy even to this very day!

my advice… do your own research and dont go off hear say and opinion … (for example: the comment above posted by Alpha-Q…. –that person obviously just has hard feelings)

I’ve just spent quite a bit of time researching Pixos vs. AquaDots and yes they r made by the same company but they just spent 6months reformulating and toxalogy testing the new formula. My daughter really wants these so Ive looked into it and most of the things i can find say they should be safe. but do ur own research and have ur kids keep them out of there mouth just in case
