I remember back when the series "Battlestar Galactica" was popular in the late 1970's, they produced a series of toys based on the Colonial Viper and Cylon Raider starfighters. These ships contained a mechanism that launched a small plastic dart or darts from the toy, to simulate the "laser blasts" the ships fired in the show. Of course the size of the darts were found to be a chocking hazard, so not long after my sister and I got ours, our parents had to send them back. The company later released new versions of the toys, but removed the firing mechanism, and the "darts" were affixed to the places where the launchers used to be.

[@michaelmagliocca9387]

[@JBDude52]

Top 3 (In my opinion): 1. Aqua Dots 2. Hoverboard 3. Mini Hammock The reason why I chose these three is because I know these products very well without realising the danger surrounding these toys, especially the hoverboard cuz I did not know it can overheat causing fire to the board. Also why did they make kite tubes a toy for kids? They should've made it for adults instead because of the level of danger, not only it would cause broken bones, but also possible death from impact/drowning. I find it more dangerous than cabbage kid toys and aqua dots!

[@PositiveVibesOnly37]

Back in 2008 I had one of the Aqua Leisure baby pool floats for my son when he was about 3-4 months old. I loved it and never had any issues. But, I never put him in it and left him unattended.

My friend and I would send my little sister down to retrieve the darts while we continued throwing (at other targets not near her). Thank God nothing bad happened! The aim of two 8 year old girls probably wasn't safe.

I also have a game which has very strong magnetic balls from my kids days too (things only get unsafe if one gives such things to young kids). I think I remember seeing that atomic energy lab kit when I was younger in my grandmas cupboard from when my father and all his brothers were boys (so I think it probably was sold to more than 5000 kids) and those clackers, my other grandparents.. had those and I used to play with that as a kid, it was fun.

I remember something similar to bucky balls(might have just been a different name since I'm in the uk). Honestly sounds more like a parent problem than a product flaw i mean they said it's not designed for dnall children if parents can't teach their younger kids not to play with it or teach their older kids yo play with it AWAY from the younger ones then that's their fault not the company's

I remember the powerwheels my grandfather got my sister and I one of them when we were about 5 and they had seatbelts and everything but unfortunatly as soon as we got it we tried using it and it started smoking, the worst part is when i tried to take my seatbelt off my seatbelt got stuck and wouldn't release and my grandfather had to quickly get scissors and cut the harness, seconds later the thing caught on fire and the firedepartment was called.

There used to be a toy I think was called the Gorilla Blaster. It was a bulky, large black plastic gun that did nothing but shoot out heavy bursts of air. You can easily imagine kids just wanting to blast the air in their playmate's face. There were reports, as expected, of eardrums ruptured and eye injuries.

Damn I had the CSI Fingerprint kit when I was younger. I’m probably fucked wtf. Also the Toothpick crossbow sounds like the ultimate “hornet” the last thing schools would ever need

Or you might be lucky , toxic material was way more common , but people still survived until their 90s through lead paint , asbestos, etc.

[@carpediem8533]

There are many people who work in such industries. In today's day, most people have some kind of exposure to harmful things. Don't worry too much.

[@xDARKxANGELxFaZEx]

My two year old lost a significant amount of vision in his eye from one of those sticky hand toy things. I’ve seen so many kids get hurt by them and I’m surprised they’re not on this list.

I had a Sky Dancer and some Yo-Yo Water Balls, but luckily never suffered any injuries.

Had lots of these toys and most of my friends had them as well, never heard of anyone getting injured or having issues with them, think that leans towards US kids that had trouble using stuff 😂

[@robertdavis2037]

So, you and your friends make up the world over, and thus only US kids had problems? I mean the first toy never made it out of China.

[@Runstarr33]

@@robertdavis2037 no obviously not, but I know people all over the world that had a few of these and never heard about this, obviously some of them are mega dangerous but I find some of them being alright and very far from needing a ban
