00:00The clackers that started in Karachi have now spread all over Pakistan.

00:12They can be seen in the hands of every other child.

00:14But when did they start and how dangerous are they?

00:16And why were they banned in Europe and America?

00:18And how old is their history?

00:20We will tell you about it.

00:30In 1968, an American business organization started making clackers.

00:34In the early 1970s, the use of clackers in Europe and America reached its peak.

00:40Although clackers were allowed to be sold after checking their weight, strength of the rope and many other things.

00:45But at one time, this toy was declared extremely dangerous for children.

00:49Because of these small balls made of rope, children started getting hurt.

00:53From their nose bone to their arm, there were reports of injuries.

00:58Although according to American standards, more than 17 types of clackers were tested.

01:02But only a few companies met this standard.

01:05The most dangerous thing was that children started using this toy to fight each other.

01:10Because of this, it started being used as a scary weapon for children.

01:15Because the biggest reason for this was that the initial clackers were made of glass or glass.

01:20But they also broke and were very dangerous.

01:23Because of this, children started getting cuts.

01:25In fact, children had to go to the hospital in many areas.

01:28Because the company made and sold glass clackers and faced a lot of difficulties.

01:33After this, plastic clackers were made and a large number were sold in the market.

01:37In 1971, four accidents were recorded due to this toy and the US FDA issued a warning.

01:43After that, these clackers were banned in America and other countries.

01:47Until the 80s, clackers were not seen anywhere in Europe and America.

01:50But now, after 40 years, this epidemic has started again and has spread to other cities of Pakistan.
