Warning about Jequirity Beans being toxic and potentially lethal

[Tasha]

Hey all. My friend put this warning on her facebook;

If any of my friends(particularly UK ones) has recently purchased a bracelet (apparently being sold in a number of UK retail outlets) made from Jequirity Beans, please place in a sealed bag and return to Trading Standards ASAP. I've just received an email from daughters school, saying they have been warned by council that these beans contain a toxic substance, and if even a tiny amount is ingested, it can be lethal. Wash hands thoroughly after touching. Please pass on, and if you know anyone who has one for themselves or their kids, alert them straightaway.

I copied and pasted (changing iv to my friend) and it seems others have received the same warning from their children's schools. So I thought I would put it on here, google if you are unsure they are red and black
