these toys can be deadly and we’re not
talking about major chip hazard and his
commando elite welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top 10 dangerous kids toys my
smoke nice bang for this list we’re
bringing you toys that present a serious
health and safety risk to the kids
they’re marketed to oh we’re excluding
toys that are only dangerous when the
age guidelines are ignored if the toy is
labeled 6 and up it’s probably a choking
hazard for infants and shouldn’t be
given to them so we’re ignoring that
possibility for now number 10 Hannah
Montana pop star card game before she
became the twerking wrecking ball
writing controversial pop star we all
know and love today Miley Cyrus was
America’s Sweetheart and role model
Hannah Montana well you know he’s a pop
star you know how they can be total
divas I try to avoid them little girls
around the world wanted anything and
everything with her name on it including
this awesome card game with Pierce it of
Hannah Montana cards um never been open
parents trusted that smiling face making
it a huge surprise that the carrying
case contained over 75 times the level
of lead legally permitted in consumer
goods Hannah Montana slowly poisoning
children
[Music]
even scarier the card game avoided a
recall thanks to a legal loophole
since the lead was found in its vinyl
and not its paint meaning it stayed on
shelves and in the hands of kids
[Music]
number nine Cabbage Patch snacktime kids
step aside Hungry Hungry Hippos
here come the cannibal Cabbage Patch
Kids snacktime dolls were a must-have
gift for Christmas 1996 they could bite
and swallow plastic food in the eyes of
children they were as good as human pets
but with no mess on the other end
[Music]
unfortunately the dolls couldn’t
differentiate between plastic food
fingers and ponytails over 100 reports
were filed claiming the jaws clamped
down on fingers and hair slowly pulling
them in in one case a girl’s hair was
allegedly ripped down to the scalp
Mattel offered a $40 refund and took
these little monsters off the shelves
number 8
Sky Rangers park flyer radio-controlled
airplane let’s be honest remote control
planes are dangerous
even when functioning properly there’s
always a risk of them crashing into a
window car or innocent bystander forget
with great power with remote control
airplanes comes great responsibility
this plane has a good amount of power
you launch it at half a 3/4 throttle and
it takes off climbs with no trouble well
apparently no one told s keys Cox Corp
the makers of the Sky Rangers who upped
the ante by releasing a toy airplane
that was prone to spontaneously
combusting during takeoff mid-flight and
while landing anytime really oh and did
we mention that you have to throw the
plane on takeoff it’s breakaway design
prevents you from breaking the prop or
bending the motor shaft burns temporary
hearing loss wounded eyes facial
lacerations and a mandatory recall
ensued when you’re ready to have fun
make sure you take along today’s best
and fast easy RC flight number 7 Zulu
blowing game
when it comes to toys the phrase choking
hazard holds the title as the biggest
buzzword in child safety but toys from
the 1930s through to the 60s seem like
they were designed to weed out and kill
all but the smartest kids before they
reached adulthood the Zulu blowgun from
the Zulu blowing game was no exception
these toys essentially streamlined
asphyxiation a number of versions were
sold between 1920 and 1960 but they all
consisted of a long straw and small
sharp darts put a dart in the straw
inhale put it to your lips and blow you
guessed it tons of kids got that order
wrong and inhaled the darts ouch number
6 Battlestar Galactica colonial Viper
[Music]
remember a simpler time when companies
didn’t have to cover their products and
warnings the early version has a missile
at fires out at the front of the ship
the people at Mattel sure do in the late
70s there were three reported cases of
children accidentally shooting
themselves in the face with the
spring-loaded missile of the colonial
Viper inhaling or swallowing the missile
and choking reset catapult
bankers on type one of these incidents
sadly resulted in the death of a
four-year-old child
[Music]
following a recall Mattel began to place
choking hazard stickers on all of their
toys with small parts a precaution that
would go on to become mandatory for all
toy manufacturers I find your reasoning
logical number 5 CSI crime scene
investigation fingerprint examination
kit
[Music]
before we get into what makes this toy
dangerous let’s just acknowledge the
fact that toys for children should have
never been made based on the CSI
television franchise considering the
grisly subject matter
looks like the planet Krypton kids
should not be fans of this series period
my nipples are all better you want to
know you
turns out this toy set was not only
inappropriate but also poisonous the
powder used for fingerprinting was
proven to contain asbestos which when
inhaled can cause deadly respiratory
issues and even cancer later on in life
this resulted in a class action lawsuit
against CBS the network that licensed
the toy in the wake of the public
relations nightmare the manufacturer
planet toys filed for bankruptcy this is
an outrage I comparative investigation
number 4 moon shoes nothing compares to
new Nickelodeon moon shoes not so fast
you don’t know what you’re missing until
you’ve tried it spy shoes swings
trampolines it seems like childhood is
all about trying to launch your body as
high as possible
the first generation of moon shoes was
released in the 1950s made of a type of
metal these shoes lock your feet in like
rollerskates and used Springs to help
you reach the Stars watch the fan they
were all so incredibly heavy resulting
in a lot of property damage when kids
landed on household items and injuries
when kids botched the landing rolled an
ankle or broke mom and dad’s toes Oh God
Nickelodeon released a much safer
plastic version in the 90s but sprained
and broken ankles continued – the fun
number three Gilbert’s u-238 Atomic
Energy Laboratory this year at Gilbert
we present the finest toy line in our
history this is our story between 1910
and 1950 the AC Gilbert company was a
big name in toys their 1913 erector set
was one of the best-selling toys the
world had ever seen and over the next 40
years the company continued to put out a
wide variety of scientific playsets that
were quite dangerous by modern standards
Gilbert has made this exciting science
available in safe and easy to understand
for the chemistry set taught young kids
to make explosives the glassblowing kit
involved temperatures close to 1,000
degrees Fahrenheit but the Atomic Energy
Lab wins for most absurd with multiple
kinds of uranium a Geiger counter to
measure radioactivity and a cloud
chamber to observe alpha particles in
action Russell don’t touch that it could
be radioactive or something number two
toy guns including BB guns
guns it doesn’t matter if kids are
raised by registered NRA members or in
strictly anti-gun households they live
playing with toy guns maybe it’s the
speed of the projectiles the loud noises
the influence of popular TV characters
or all of the above BB and airsoft guns
can take an eye out paintballs leave a
serious bruise and cap guns often lead
to burns there are over 200 instances of
toy guns being mistaken for real
firearms per year in the United States
what what does it look like to you
while many toy guns are not inherently
dangerous they often look like the real
deal and can lead to serious injury or
death before we unveil our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
number one lawn darts we were kids there
weren’t that many dumb kids because we
had toys that would kill you remember
lawn darts a cross between horseshoes
and darts these oversized projectiles
have plastic fins and big rounded
weighted metal or sometimes plastic tips
that ensure they fly true and land
point-first
simple outdoor fun for the whole family
until someone gets seriously or fatally
wounded by a stray dart also known as
charts or yard darts were popular in the
1950s but were later banned because of
injuries the ban was lifted in the 1970s
under the condition they’d never be
marketed to kids when a seven-year-old
girl was killed by one it proved that
the regulation couldn’t keep them out of
the hands of kids so this led to a
strict ban in the United States do you
