dangerous kids toys we toys so play nice
number 10 Polly Pocket
[Music]
these dolls made a big impression when
they first debuted in 1989
despite their modest height of under one
inch imagine an entire apartment shrunk
down to fit into a pocket-sized folding
dollhouse styled as a makeup compact add
the male equivalent playsets Mighty Max
and this line of choking hazards had
kids in the 90s eating out of the palm
of their hand these toys were already
dangerous enough to warrant teaching
your kid the Heimlich maneuver
but the Polly Pocket magnetic playsets
with their magnetic clothing warranted a
full recall in 2006 these dolls were too
large to swallow but the small magnets
often fell out wreaking life-threatening
havoc on digestive systems if multiple
were ingested number 9
inflatable baby floats utter it turns
that time into moments of fun
exploration and learning there’s nothing
scarier than a potentially lethal baby
product parents always need to be extra
careful with infants around water but
you can understand how one might let
their guard down when placing a child in
an inflatable device specifically
designed for that purpose sadly a number
of baby floatation products have ripped
resulting in the child sinking or being
smothered in 2009 some four million
units consisting of various models of
the aqua leisure baby floats were
recalled after thirty-one incidences of
the seat strap ripping occurred allowing
the baby to fall into the water in 2015
auto roo floats were recalled after some
fifty cases of deflation were reported
thankfully neither specific case
resulted in death number eight
children’s wood burning kits
if the word burning is in the name of
your product maybe don’t market it to
kids admittedly the various companies
manufacturing this product have always
targeted the outdoorsy do-it-yourself
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America
kind of kid they’re the types who
generally don’t need their toys
bubble-wrapped I will be teaching you to
dig a proper trench sets from the 1950s
were notorious for burns and for
trusting in the fact that kids would
learn responsibility modern kits like
those made by educational toy companies
like TS shore and NSI are more safety
minded but no amount of safety
recommendations can mitigate the
potential for burns or worse fires if it
can burn a pattern into wood it can burn
plenty of other stuff too number 7
creepy crawlers it might not exactly be
playing with fire but this creation
station still involves high temperatures
and in early models toxic fumes Mattel
first began producing creepy crawlers in
1964 sets included diecast creature
molds a liquid chemical that kids poured
into the mold and a small oven or hot
plate to heat the plastic OOP into
hardened rubbery shapes and presto
change-o creepy crawlers got a lot safer
in the 1990s but the early versions
consisted of an open-faced hot plate
that rose to 390 degrees Fahrenheit it
might not be liquid magma but that’s
still blisteringly hot especially if you
touched the creature before it’s
solidified although marketed as
non-toxic at the time that was before we
knew the dangers of PVC fumes number 6
austin magic pistol works on magic
doesn’t it suck that all the most
dangerous toys are also the coolest this
toy gun actually uses combustion flames
shoot out of it it’s made of metal and
totally looks like a ray gun from early
sci-fi while the Austin magic pistol
might make for a wicked awesome vintage
toy when you’re in your 20s or older
this circa 1950s toy gun is absurdly
dangerous you’re gonna be fine baby doll
it’s magic crystals are composed of a
mixture of calcium carbide and water
which with a little help from the
sparking trigger combusts violently even
in the wild and crazy’ 50s it quickly
became apparent that this was no toy
resulting in a number of bands number 5
science whiz bottle rocket party listed
in the top 10 unsafe toys of 2014 list
from parental safety group watch this
kit gives children everything they need
to have a bottle rocket party it
includes the Rockets themselves Stoppers
and fun caution tape so you feel like
you’re at a real rocket launch rockets
explode
what the kit does not include are these
safety goggles they recommend on the
packaging the baking soda and vinegar
propelled Rockets aren’t going to
explode but the projectiles still
present a significant risk of eye or
facial injury pretty easy right
the kit is labeled eight and up but
you’d be hard-pressed to find any
eight-year-old that’s going to wait
until they can track down safety goggles
before playing with something this cool
number four Easy Bake Oven the little
lady Empire stove with its metal frame
and up to six hundred degrees of heat
might have been the more deadly children
stove but the Easy Bake Oven has had a
much more significant impact since
Kenner launched the product in 1963
slide them inside a man let him bake now
slide them in slide them out easy bake
Wow
over 25 million units have been sold
since meaning that the average kid
likely interacted with one at some point
most of the 11 models have been totally
safe but one or two got the recipe wrong
the 2006 version was recalled after
twenty-nine reports surfaced of kids
getting their fingers caught in the
front loading oven door
despite the recall another two hundred
and forty nine incidents were reported
one of which ended with a little girl
needing a partial finger amputation
number three stats 38 quick folding
trampoline anything that goes up must
come down and the higher you launch a
kid into the air the greater the risk
for injury this specific trampoline
might be mini but it packs a huge risk
factor marketed to children 6 and up it
has some serious bounce to it no safety
no padded handlebar turned out to be 2
days
the likelihood of your child losing
control and flying into furniture is
high on the packaging you find the
following warning quote landing on the
head or neck can cause serious injury
paralysis or death duh if as a
manufacturer you feel the need to put
that on a product you’re selling to
six-year-olds you might have missed the
point of age restrictions number two
mini hammock inflatable baby boats might
be prone to malfunction but mini hammock
seemed as if they were designed
specifically to endanger young children
made from a fine nylon mesh and lacking
any sort of spreader bar these child
sized hammocks were prone to entangling
their young users most often this would
occur when the child was attempting to
get in or out of the hammock in 1996 the
Consumer Product Safety Commission
issued a recall and safety warning on
ten different mini hammock brands and
models most notably the EZ sails hammock
brand unsafe for use due to a lack of
spreader bar between 1984 and 1995 there
were 12 separate cases of kids becoming
trapped in the hammock and dying from
asphyxiation
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions
[Music]
[Music]
number one Aqua Dots the magical deaths
you create spray and play Aqua Dots
are small colorful balls that you
arrange into patterns or images spray
the design with water and they solidify
together into a single piece of art to
show off to mom or dad but as we’ve
learned anything a kid can swallow
they will swallow these small toy beads
when ingested caused vomiting
respiratory failure seizures and comas
why scientists say a chemical in the toy
becomes a powerful date-rape drug if it
is swallow Aqua Dots contained a
compound that when consumed breaks down
into GHB the notorious date rape drug
the product was pulled from shelves
after three separate toddlers fell into
comas the parents of one toddler who
suffered permanent brain damage won
their court case against the
manufacturers distributors and toy
designers each company being assigned
partial blame for the tragedy you’ll
