Toys? Not this Xmas!!!

Here's the top 10 list of Most Dangerous Toys to ever hit the stores. Note that the danger wasn't intentional, unlike sling shots and BB Guns (except for No.8) .

1. Lawn Darts






Lawn darts were massive weighted spears. You threw them. They stuck where they landed.
If they happened to land in your skull, well, then you should have moved.






2. Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab







Exposure to the isotope U-238 has been linked to Gulf War syndrome, cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma.

So here're the missing WoMD...







3. Mini-Hammocks from EZ Sales



Near-fatal asphyxiation of dozens of kids ages five to 17

Baby's Early Suicide Chair!!!





4. Snacktime Cabbage Patch Dolls




35 fingers and ponytails fell victim, the Snacktime Kids were removed from retail shelves forever, and 500,000 customers were offered a full $40 refund.












5. Sky Dancers








Injuries included scratched corneas and temporary blindness, mild concussions, broken ribs and teeth, and facial lacerations that required stitches.

Violence-themed toys are not just for boys anymore!!!








6. Bat Masterson Derringer Belt Gun





Pants-securing needs with the option every ten-year-old dreams of: the ability to shoot caps at groin level.

PERFECT!!!




7. Creepy Crawlers


Included a series of molds, tubes of "plastigoop," and an open-faced frier, which could heat up to a nerve-searing 310 degrees.

Fingerprint removal = Instant Spy
The KGB will never suspect children!!!



8. Johnny Reb Cannon




35 feet and seemed perfectly sized to lodge into an eye socket, down an open mouth, or through a slave's window.








9. Battlestar Galactica Missile Launcher




A young boy in Atlanta fired one of the missiles into his mouth. The missiles, at one and a quarter inches, were just about the ideal size to land in one's esophagus and stay there.








10. Fisher-Price Power Wheels Motorcycle







Eager youngsters who gunned the throttle found that it often stayed gunned, stuck in a petrifying state of perma-acceleration.









ENJOY...
