Jackson, Lawn Darts are illegal in New York State ................... Glad my kids are grown ............. I wouldn't buy small kids ANYTHING from China, look what happens when they leave the USA and produce overseas .................... Fisher-Price, one of the most respected names in the toy industry, recall after recall ............ Boy, has their image taken a hit, or what ????????

Flannj,

That was too funny! Where do you get one? Christmas is coming up and you know, the kids and all...

[oscarsear]

Don't forget towels of any size, color or fabric material.  Once wet they can be easily converted into skin gouging hypersonic whips often wielded in lockers rooms everywhere.  They can result in permanent scars and life altering mental stress syndromes.  Sad really.

Somehow from JB I was expecting the top ten dangerous adult toys.....

One of the best original SNL cast sketches was the unscrupulous toy

marketer Irwin Mainway (Ackroyd). Anyone remember "Bag-O-Glass?"

A friend and I had a set of lawn darts each. We would get them throw them as high into the air as we could and dodge them on the back down. After playing this game for a couple of days one of our parents saw this and confiscated our Lawn Darts. We were very sad and grounded. A couple months ago I picked up a set of Lawn Dartsin their original box for $5.... Bargain : ) Kids are stupid.

[Brac]

I used to play with #8 it was cool stuff.

I was denied lawn darts as a kid, but i'm asking santa this year.

GHB date rape drug? I don't understand, who would waste good drugs by giving them away????

I remember playing with a Chemist set at a friend's house as a kid, mixing volatile chemicals for the fun of it! Things were simpler in the late 60's and 70's.

What about the Easy Bake oven with a light bulb in it, wasn't there also one that made these edible gummies in plastic mold's. Hell we used to have dirt clod fights, orange & grapefruit fights, shoot at each other with wrist rockets and later BB guns, bottle rocket and roman candle fights. I remember taking all the un-popped black cat firecrackers cracking them open and putting the gunpowder in a pile and smashing it with a rock for a huge explosion. Your right kids are stupid!

Aren't all the listed toys made in China? Write your congress people, and tell them to pass a law that requires labelling all Chinese imports "Made in Red China". Americans have become addicted to cheap Chinese goods (yup, me too) and we seem to have forgotten that little fact.

Holy cow, we must have played together as kids!

PS - I know we were not supposed to pump the crossman past 2 pumps, sorry about that....

I remember in the playing in the 70s the board game, Chutes, Ladders and vats of Lead paint. The EPA later made Milton Bradley change the title to just Chutes and Ladders.

Frzninvt: They said that because of all the new laws and safety requirements we might be trading off the best chemists and physicists for safety. I read somewhere that what about those people that blew off their eyebrows the first time and was addicted to chemistry since then, etc.
