Default (SOT) Eden Project product recall

http://www.edenproject.com/product-r...-seed-bracelet
Also seen in today's papers.

It just surprises me that nobody at the Eden Project recognised Abrus
precatorius seeds (Jequirity, Crab's Eyes, etc). Is the plant grown at
EP? The toxic principle (abrin) is several dozen times more toxic than
ricin from castor oil seeds.

I wonder how the poor devils who make these necklaces by drilling holes
in the seeds avoid breathing in the toxic dust.

(NB TB's spellchecker didn't recognise "precatorius", but it - very
aptly - offered "precarious" as an alternative!)
