off water rocket for years water-based activities have been the go-to on a hot day what better way to Have Fun in the Sun than to set off an H2O powered projectile with your friends 3 2 1 go that's gone what should have led to instant memories instead resulted in an unwanted stress to get the splash off water rocket to work it had to be filled using a classic garden hose however when liquid was

over the decades allowing kids to play as their favorite heroes and villains from the series some of the most popular were the lightsabers modeled after the ones used by the characters while many appeared to be innocent some had more danger lurking beneath the surface the Darth Maul and Qui-Gon version seemed to be an instant hit particularly the former's iconic double-sided weapon while they were beloved they didn't last long on the shelves an internal issue with the battery shifting and overheating eventually led to them being considered burn hazards while the negative effects were realistic to the movies they definitely weren't ideal in a real life setting you master Quon Jin I got it him while you stood helpless and watched how did that make you feel obiwan number 27 belt buckle daringer toy gun fake Firearms are one thing but one that can be hidden in an article of clothing takes things to a whole new level in the 1950s Mattel introduced a new phenomenon a tiny pistol embedded within a belt buckle the mini artillery would pop out and shoot a pellet whenever a small switch was activated usually while the wearer moved their hips they were so realistic that they could shoot several feet making them a risk to anyone in the vicinity the fact that it was a cap gun added another precarious layer to the product while the bullets were not real the friction from the chamber being activated spelled out disaster especially considering how close they were to sensitive areas of the body you could ask yourself a question do I feel lucky well do you punk number 26 pogo sticks now we're going to play do you want to play with me oh no while bouncing from place to place seems ideal for any child the risks usually outweigh the rewards pogo sticks have been one of the most unique items on the market since their Inception as they utilize Springs to give users hours of fun and potential pain some variations have been taken off the market due to the mechanisms backfiring causing people to fall mid use however what makes them truly unsafe is how hard they can be to control even if someone isn't attempting sick tricks the stick can easily slip out from underneath them causing them to fall or even be hit what's even more dangerous are the stunts some people attempt while using them with failed ones usually ending up in immediate injury get off the number 25 monster science colossal water balls a bouncy ball never hurt anyone right just be careful if they start to mutate Consumer Reports say there's a potential safety hazard with popular small toy balls and beads that expand dramatically in water the amazing toys ran into some trouble when they produced colossal water balls little polymer orbs that expanded in size when combined with a special growth powder the problem started with the colorful trinkets resembling candy the toys also ballooned up in any sort of water something that unfortunately makes up more than 50% of the human body the fear was that kids would ingest the product and that its growth in diameter would present a serious choking hazard or if swallowed cause fatal obstruction in the intestines though no direct incidents involving the monster science Miniatures were reported occurrences involving similar Polymer Products prompted a recall of jelly beads jumbo beads and Magic growing fruity fun toys in 2013 if nothing had been done the intestines would have perforated the the child would have had significant an infection and sepsis and and could have possibly died from it it's a helpful reminder that unexpected dangers sometimes come in small packages number 24 super blast balls in retrospect a toy centered around slamming two objects together as hard as possible might not have been the best idea the concept behind super blast balls was straightforward people would hit them together simulating the sound of a cap gun going off they would then have to hold the small balls in their palms for maximum effect causing a loud noise and even Spark in the process then we finally get a reaction taking place we have not only collided but we have met that minimum activation energy that's required to make that process happen the latter posed a burn threat especially to those who were hitting them with all their strength before they were finally investigated and recalled several people had reported being injured by the tiny ballistics what could have been a great early lesson in friction ended up teaching more people how to treat singe wounds well burn V number 23 yo-yo balls some play things are a mess from top to bottom even something as small and seemingly inconsequential as this around it goes it comes back to you a yo-yo and a ball combined seems like it should result in hours of fun instead they ended with trips to the hospital every component of it posed a threat from the cord nearly strangling kids to the balls striking them in the head even the liquid inside was

customers they get me up R number 21 Sky Dancers Sky Dancers they're flying who could have thought that such fashionable fairies would bring so much emotional distress Sky Dancers were the perfect

covered foam wings were harming anyone in their path the injuries were severe and ranged from scratched corneas to Broken Bones after nearly 200 reports from consumers the company had to pay a

something you want to do yes sir this will be no fun at all 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 recommendation can mitigate the potential for burns or Worse fires if it can burn a pattern into wood

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 goop into hardened rubbery shapes you've got the bus Creepy Crawlers got a lot safer in the 1990s but the early versions consisted of an openface hot plate that Rose to 390 ° f it might not be liquid magma but that's still blisteringly hot especially if

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

high on the packaging you find the following warning landing on the head or neck can cause serious injury paralysis or death du 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 12 mini hammock inflatable baby boats might be prone to malfunction but many hammocks seem 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 consumer product safety commission issued a recall and safety warning on 10 different mini hammock Brands and

and in the hands of kids number nine Cabbage Patch snacktime Kids she really chews step aside Hungry Hungry Hippos here comes the cannibal Cabbage Patch Kids snack time 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 and when you think she look inside your backpack it

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 flying number seven 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 1960s seem like they were designed to weed out and kill all but the smartest kids before they reached adulthood the Zulu blow gun from the Zulu blowing game was no exception these toys essentially streamlined asphixiation a number of versions were sold between 1920 and 196 60 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 hey you guessed it tons of kids got that order wrong and inhaled the darts ouch number six Battle Star Galactica Colonial Viper remember a simpler time when companies didn't have to cover their products and warnings 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 viers on target one of these incidents sadly resulted in the death of a 4-year-old child let's go in following a recall Mattel began to place choking hazard stickers on all of their toys with small parts a caution that would go on to become mandatory for all toy manufacturers I find your reasoning logical number five CSI crime Scene Investigation fingerprint examination [Music] kit 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 grizzly subject matter looks like the Planet Krypton kids should not be fans of the series period 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 demand an investigation number four Moon Shoes nothing compares to new Nickelodeon Moon shoes not so fast you

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 love playing with toy guns yeah maybe it's the speed of the projectiles the loud noises the influence of popular TV characters or all of
