00:00Moon Shoes! Kid Powered Fun Anti-Gravity Shoes!
00:14Who could ever forget their first BB Gun?
00:23Check out this new toy!
00:26Oh, Clackers!
00:31Clackers are not a big deal.
00:34They are two balls tied with a rope that the user can make crash as slow or fast as he wants.
00:41Although they seem fun, they escape quickly from the hands.
00:45They are difficult to control once they move at high speed, which makes it easier for someone to hit himself or others.
00:53Getting hit by a hard plastic in the face does not sound very fun.
00:59And the risk of the balls breaking with the impact made things even more dangerous.
01:05They acquired such a bad reputation that the US government ordered to destroy tens of thousands in the 1970s,
01:14forever cementing their infamous legacy.
01:16And now, punch it!
01:25For years, water activities have been the best on a hot day.
01:31What better way to have fun in the sun than to launch a projectile propelled by water with your friends?
01:37Three, two, one, go!
01:42That's gone.
01:44What should have left wonderful memories turned out to be an unwanted stress.
01:49For the projectile to work, it had to be filled with a garden hose.
01:53However, when adding liquid, the pressure turned out to be excessive,
01:58which caused some to completely fall apart.
02:01This, of course, caused the possibility that people would be injured.
02:05Splashing is one thing, but no one wants to spend the summer holidays recovering from a blow with a piece of rocket.
02:18Number 28, the Dartamau and Qui-Gon laser sabers.
02:27The Star Wars franchise has given rise to several toy lines for decades,
02:32which have allowed children to play as their favorite heroes and villains in the series.
02:38Some of the most popular were the laser sabers, modeled from those used by the characters.
02:45Although many seemed innocent, some were dangerous.
02:49The Dartamau and Qui-Gon versions were instant success,
02:54especially the iconic double-laser weapon of the first.
02:58Although they were very beloved, they did not last long in shelves.
03:02An internal problem with the batteries, which moved and overheated,
03:07caused a potential risk of burning.
03:10Although the negative effects were similar to those of the movies,
03:14they were definitely not ideal in real life.
03:17You master Qui-Gon Jinn.
03:20I gutted him while you stood helpless and watched.
03:24How did that make you feel, Obi-Wan?
03:28Number 27, Derringer toy gun on the belt buckle.
03:32Fake firearms are one thing, but one that can be hidden in a dress is another.
03:39In the 50s, Mattel woke up a new phenomenon,
03:43a tiny gun embedded in the belt buckle.
03:47The mini-gun would come out and shoot a perdigon
03:51every time a small switch was activated,
03:54usually when the bearer moved his hip.
03:57They were so realistic that they could shoot several meters,
04:02which made them a risk for anyone who was close.
04:06The fact that it was a pistol was even worse.
04:09Although the bullets were not real,
04:11the friction of the chamber when activated caused a disaster,
04:14especially considering how close they were to sensitive areas of the body.
04:32Number 26, Pogos.
04:34Now we're going to play.
04:36Do you want to play with me?
04:39Oh no!
04:41Although jumping from one place to another seems ideal for any child,
04:45the risks are greater than the rewards.
04:48Pogos have been one of the most unique items on the market since its creation,
04:53as they use springs to give users hours of fun and potential pain.
04:59Some variants have been withdrawn from the market
05:01because the mechanisms failed and threw children.
05:06However, what makes them so insecure is how difficult it can be to control them.
05:11Even if someone does not try to do tricks,
05:14the stick can easily escape from the hands and cause a fall or a blow.
05:20What is even more dangerous are the acrobatics that some people try,
05:25and failures usually end in immediate injuries.
05:31Number 25, Colossal Water Balls by Monster Science.
05:36A ball never hurts anyone, right?
05:47Well, be careful if they start to mutate.
05:50Toys had some problems when they made the Colossal Water Balls,
05:54small polymer orbs that grew when combined with a special growth powder.
06:01The problem began with those that looked like candies.
06:05The toys also swelled in any type of water,
06:08something that unfortunately constitutes more than 50% of the human body.
06:14It was feared that children would ingest the product
06:17and that its increase would pose a serious danger of asphyxiation,
06:20or, in case of ingestion, cause a deadly obstruction of the intestines.
06:25Although no direct incidents related to smaller sizes were known,
06:30events related to similar polymer products
06:34caused the removal of Jelly Beads, Jumbo Beads and Magic Rowing Fruity Fun Toys in 2013.
06:41If nothing had been done, the intestines would have perforated,
06:44the child would have had significant infection and sepsis,
06:47and could have possibly died from it.
06:49It is a useful reminder that unexpected dangers sometimes come in small packages.
06:55Number 24, Super Blast Balls.
06:58In retrospect, it may be that a toy centered on shocking two objects as hard as possible
07:05is not the best idea.
07:06The concept of the Super Blast Balls was simple.
07:10People hit them with each other, simulating the sound of a pistol.
07:15They had to hold the balls in the palm of their hand
07:18to achieve the maximum effect, causing a loud noise and even sparks.
07:24Then we finally get a reaction taking place.
07:27We have not only collided, but we have met that minimum activation energy
07:31that's required to make that process happen.
07:33The latter was supposed to be a burn threat,
07:36especially for those who made them collide with all their might.
07:40Before they were investigated and withdrawn from the market,
07:43several people had denounced having been injured.
07:47What could have been an early lesson on friction
07:49ended up teaching more people how to treat wounds because it matures.
07:59Number 23, Yo-Yo Balls.
08:01Some toys are a mess from top to bottom,
08:04even something as small and apparently harmless as this.
08:12A yo-yo and a ball combined sounds very fun,
08:16but it is not.
08:17They sent several users to the hospital.
08:20Each of its components was a threat,
08:23from the rope that almost strangles children
08:26to the balls with which they hit their heads.
08:29Even the inner liquid was examined for its potential toxicity and flammability.
08:35Although fortunately there were no mortal victims,
08:38there were too many close cases.
08:41This caused them to withdraw from the market,
08:43although by then millions had already been sold.
08:46Basically, even the smallest objects can have very large disadvantages.
08:55Number 22, Gilbert Glass Blowing Game.
08:58Giving children unlimited access to glass and fire?
09:02What could go wrong?
09:04The company A.C. Gilbert was dedicated to launching products
09:08that had some application in the real world.
09:10Whether it was a chemical game or a glass blowing kit.
09:21The latter came with several glass tubes,
09:24an alcohol lamp and even a small blower
09:27that children could use to make their own creations.
09:31If they were left without supervision,
09:34these materials could end in serious injuries
09:37and even domestic fires.
09:38Glass blowing is not the safest hobby,
09:41not even for adults.
09:43To do it correctly,
09:45you have to work with very high temperatures
09:48and give children access to hot glass.
09:51Whatever the reason,
09:53it's a disaster about to happen.
10:02Number 21, Sky Dancers.
10:09Who would have thought that such beautiful fairies
10:13would cause so many problems?
10:16The Sky Dancers were the perfect dolls
10:19for children of all ages.
10:21They came with a base that was activated
10:23when it was pulled from a rope that made them fly.
10:26Unfortunately, the results were all the less magical.
10:30They turned at such a speed
10:32that the foam wings,
10:34in weakly covered,
10:35damaged everything they found on their way.
10:38The injuries were serious
10:40and ranged from scratched corneas
10:42to broken bones.
10:44After almost 200 complaints from consumers,
10:47the company had to pay a fine of $400,000
10:51and more than 10 million toys were withdrawn
10:54throughout the country.
10:56The 2000s came with a new generation of Sky Dancers,
10:59this time with softer and padded wings.
11:06Get set, here we go!
11:10Number 20, Polly Pocket.
11:12These dolls made a great impression
11:15when they debuted in 1989
11:18despite their tiny height of a few centimeters.
11:21Imagine an entire apartment in your pocket
11:24stylized like a makeup powder.
11:27In addition, there was a male equivalent for children,
11:30Mighty Max.
11:32This line of asphyxiation dangers
11:33had the children of the 90s
11:36eating from the palm of his hand.
11:38The toys were already quite dangerous
11:41to teach your son the maneuver of Heimlich,
11:44but the magnetic sets of Polly Pocket
11:47justified a complete withdrawal
11:49of the shelves in 2006.
11:51These dolls were too big to swallow,
11:54but the small magnets generally fell,
11:57causing deadly damage
11:59to the digestive system
12:01if several were ingested.
12:03Number 19, Baby Floaters.
12:06Otteroo turns bath time into moments of fun,
12:09exploration and learning.
12:11There is nothing more terrifying
12:13than a product for babies potentially lethal.
12:16Parents should always be very careful
12:19when there is water nearby,
12:21but it can be understood that they lower the guard
12:23when they put a child in an inflatable device
12:26specifically designed for that purpose.
12:29Unfortunately, several products broke
12:31with the result that the child drowned
12:34or suffocated with the toy.
12:36In 2009, about 4 million units of several models
12:39of baby floaters, Aqua Leisure,
12:42were withdrawn from the market
12:45after 31 incidents were reported
12:48in which the seat belt had torn,
12:51causing the baby to fall into the water.
12:54In 2015, the Otteroo floaters were withdrawn
12:57after about 50 cases were notified
12:59of deflating.
13:01Fortunately, none of the specific cases
13:04caused deaths.
13:06Number 18, Children's Kits to Burn Firewood.
13:09If the word burn is in the name of your product,
13:12it is not a good idea to commercialize it for children.
13:15It is true that the different companies
13:18that make this set have always been directed
13:21to the Boy and Girl Scouts,
13:24fond of outdoor activities and DIY.
13:26They are the ones who do not need
13:29their toys to be wrapped in a bubble.
13:44The toys of the 50s were famous
13:47for the burns and for trusting
13:50that children would learn to be responsible.
13:53Modern toys such as those made by
13:56companies like TS Sure and NSI
13:59take safety into account,
14:02but no recommendation can mitigate
14:05the potential for burns, or worse,
14:08for fires.
14:10If you can burn a drawing on the wood,
14:13you can also burn many other things.
14:27Number 17, Creepy Crawlers.
14:33You may not know exactly how to play with fire,
14:36but this set involves high temperatures
14:39and in the first models, toxic smoke.
14:42Mattel began producing Creepy Crawlers in 1964.
14:45The toys included creature molds,
14:48a liquid that the children poured into the mold,
14:51and a small oven or hot plate
14:53to heat the plastic up and shape it.
14:56The set became much safer in the 90s,
14:59but the first versions consisted of
15:02an open hot plate that reached
15:05almost 200 degrees Celsius.
15:08It may not be liquid magma,
15:11but it is still a scorching heat,
15:14especially if you touch the creature
15:17before it solidifies,
15:20although at the time it was marketed
15:23as non-toxic, that was before we knew
15:26the dangers of PVC vapors.
15:29Number 16, Aston Magic Pistol.
15:32Isn't it a shame that the most dangerous toys
15:35are also the coolest?
15:38This toy gun uses combustion,
15:41it makes flames!
15:44It is made of metal and looks like
15:47a science fiction lightning gun.
15:50While it can be a great vintage toy
15:53from the 50s,
15:56it is absurdly dangerous.
15:59Its magic crystals are composed of
16:02a mixture of calcium carbide and water
16:05that with a little help of the trigger
16:08burns violently.
16:11Even in the crazy and wild 50s
16:14it was evident that it was not a toy,
16:17which led to several prohibitions.
16:20Number 15, Science Whiz's Bottle Rocket Party.
16:23One of the least safe toys of 2014
16:26from the parental safety group WATCH,
16:29this kit gives children everything they need
16:32to celebrate a rocket party.
16:35It includes the rockets themselves, caps
16:38and a fun precaution tape
16:41so you feel like you're in a real launch.
16:46What it does not include are the safety glasses
16:49that they recommend in the package.
16:51The rockets propelled by bicarbonate and vinegar
16:54do not explode,
16:57but the projectiles are still an important risk
17:00of eye or facial injuries.
17:05The kit is labeled as
17:08from the age of 8,
17:11but it will cost you to find an 8-year-old
17:14who hopes to find protective glasses
17:17to play with something like that.
17:20Number 14, Easy Bake Oven.
17:23Maybe the Little Lady Empire
17:26with its metal frame
17:29and up to 300 degrees of heat
17:32was the deadliest children's stove,
17:35but the Easy Bake oven has had a much more significant impact
17:38since Kenner launched it in 1963.
17:40Since then, more than 25 million units have been sold,
17:43which means that the average child
17:46has probably interacted with one in his life.
17:49Most of the 11 models have been safe,
17:52but one or two were wrong with the recipe.
17:55The 2006 version was withdrawn
17:58after 29 children's reports appeared
18:01to which they were told that they were wrong.
18:04In the year 2000,
18:07Kenner launched the first
18:10and the children's fingers were stuck.
18:13Although they withdrew from the market,
18:16another 249 incidents were reported,
18:19one of which ended with a girl
18:22who needed partial amputation of a finger.
18:25Number 13, Folding Trampoline Stats 38 Quick.
18:28Everything that goes up has to go down
18:31and the higher you throw a child in the air,
18:34the greater the risk of injuries.
18:40This particular trampoline can be small,
18:43but it involves a huge risk factor.
18:46Directed to children from the age of 6,
18:49it has a lot of rebound,
18:52but no security or padded handle.
18:56The probability that your child will lose control
18:59and fly against the furniture is high.
19:02In the package is the following warning.
19:05Landing on the head or neck
19:07can cause serious injuries, paralysis or death.
19:10If as a manufacturer you feel the need
19:13to put this in a product that you sell
19:16for 6-year-old children,
19:19it is possible that you have not understood
19:22the purpose of age restrictions.
19:25Number 12, Mini Hammock.
19:28It may be that inflatable bottles for babies
19:31are not the best idea,
19:34but mini hammocks seem designed
19:37with a nylon mesh and without any
19:40type of separation bar,
19:43usually their users were stuck.
19:46Most of the time it happened when the child
19:49tried to enter or leave the hammock.
19:52In 1996, the Consumer Product Safety Commission
19:55withdrew it from the market and issued
19:58a safety warning about 10 brands
20:01and different models of mini hammocks.
20:04Especially the Easy Sales brand,
20:07which lacked a separation bar.
20:10Between 1984 and 1995,
20:13there were 12 different cases of children
20:16who were trapped in the hammock
20:19and died suffocated.
20:22Number 11, Aquadots.
20:25Aquadots are little balls of colors
20:28that you can place to form drawings or images.
20:31When you spray the design with water,
20:34it becomes a unique work of art
20:37to show off to mom or dad.
20:40But as we already know,
20:43everything that a child can swallow,
20:46he will swallow it.
20:49These little toy beads,
20:52when ingested, caused vomiting,
20:55respiratory failure, convulsions and comas.
20:58Why? They contained a compound
21:01that when consumed decomposes into GHB,
21:04also known as liquid ecstasy.
21:07The parents of one of them,
21:10who suffered permanent brain injuries,
21:13won the trial against the manufacturers,
21:16distributors and designers of the toy
21:19and each company was awarded
21:22part of the guilt of the tragedy.
21:25Number 10, Hana Montana Pop Star.
21:28Before becoming the controversial pop star
21:31that we all know and love today,
21:34Miley Cyrus was the girlfriend of the United States
21:37President Barack Obama.
21:40Girls from all over the world wanted anything
21:43that carried her name,
21:46including this impressive card game.
21:49The parents trusted in that smiling face,
21:52so it was a surprise that the case contained
21:55more than 75 times the legal lead level
21:58allowed in consumer goods.
22:01Hana Montana slowly poisons children?
22:04Even more terrifying,
22:07when she was removed thanks to a legal lagoon,
22:10since the lead was found in the vinyl
22:13and not in the paint,
22:16which means that it remained in the shelves
22:19and in the hands of the children.
22:22Number 9, Kabash Patch Snack Time Kids.
22:25To a hungry hippopotamus side,
22:28here come the Kabash Patch Kids Cannibals.
22:31The Snack Time dolls were an essential gift
22:34for Christmas 1996.
22:37They could bite and swallow plastic food.
22:40For children they were basically human pets,
22:43but without dirtying the other end.
22:52Unfortunately, the dolls did not know
22:55how to differentiate between plastic food,
22:58fingers and hair.
23:01There were more than 100 reports
23:04stating that they ate hair and fingers slowly.
23:07Some even ripped a girl's scalp.
23:10Mattel offered a $40 refund
23:13and removed these little monsters from the shelves.
23:17Number 8, Sky Rangers Park Flyer.
23:26Let's be honest,
23:29remote-controlled planes are dangerous
23:32even when they work well.
23:34There is a risk of crashing into a window,
23:37a car or an innocent passenger.
23:40Due to its power,
23:43a remote-controlled plane is a big responsibility.
23:52Well, apparently no one told this Scoscarp.
23:55The Sky Rangers manufacturers
23:58who raised the bet by taking to the market
24:01a toy plane prone to spontaneous combustion
24:04during take-off,
24:07mid-flight and landing.
24:10Well, at any time.
24:13And we already said that you have to launch the plane to take off?
24:20There were burns,
24:23temporary hearing loss,
24:26eyes wounds, facial lacerations
24:29and a mandatory withdrawal from the market.
24:35Number 7, Zulu's Blowing Game.
24:42When it comes to toys,
24:45the phrase asphyxiation danger
24:48holds first place in child safety.
24:51But those from the 30s to the 60s
24:54seem to have been designed to eliminate and kill
24:57all children, except the smartest.
25:00For example, Zulu's Zerbatana.
25:02Between 1920 and 1960
25:05several versions were sold,
25:08but they all consisted of a long straw
25:11and small and sharp darts.
25:14You put a dart in the straw, inhaled it,
25:17took it to your lips and blew.
25:20Yes, you guess right.
25:23Tons of children made a mistake in the order
25:26and inhaled the darts. Ouch.
25:29Number 6, Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper.
25:33Do you remember a simpler time
25:36when companies did not have to fill
25:39their warning products?
25:42The people of Mattel surely did.
25:45At the end of the 70s, three cases of children
25:48who accidentally shot themselves in the face
25:51with the Colonial Viper missile were reported.
25:54They inhaled it or swallowed it and suffocated.
25:56Unfortunately, one of these incidents
25:59resulted in the death of a 4-year-old boy.
26:02After being asked to be removed
26:05from the shelves, Mattel began to place
26:08asphyxiation-threatening stamps
26:11on all their toys with small pieces.
26:14A precaution that would become mandatory
26:17for all toy manufacturers.
26:20In the early 70s,
26:22a precaution that would become mandatory
26:25for all toy manufacturers.
26:28I find your reasoning logical.
26:31Number 5, CSI Toys.
26:38Before getting into what makes this set dangerous,
26:41let's recognize the fact that toys
26:44for children inspired by the CSI franchise
26:47should not have been made,
26:49taking into account the plot.
26:53Children should not be fans
26:56of this series and period.
26:59It turns out that this toy was not only inappropriate,
27:02but also poisonous.
27:05It was shown that the powder used for the stamps
27:08contained asbestos, whose inhalation
27:11can cause respiratory problems,
27:14mortals and even cancer in later stages of life.
27:16This led to a collective demand
27:19against the CBS, the chain that had
27:22the license of the toy.
27:25After this nightmare of public relations,
27:28the manufacturer Planet Toys declared itself bankrupt.
27:32Number 4, Moonshoes.
27:41Squirrels, elastic beds,
27:43it seems that childhood consists of trying
27:46to throw your body as high as possible.
27:53The first generation of Moonshoes
27:56went on the market in the 1950s.
27:59They were made of metal and used springs
28:02to help you reach the stars.
28:05They were also incredibly heavy,
28:08which caused a lot of material damage
28:10when children landed on
28:13domestic objects and injuries.
28:16They twisted an ankle or broke the toes
28:19of mom and dad's feet.
28:24Nickelodeon released a much safer
28:27plastic version in the 90s,
28:30but the slippers and broken ankles
28:33continued without fun.
28:41Number 3.
28:44Gilbert's U-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory.
28:55Between 1910 and 1950,
28:58the company A.C. Gilbert
29:01was an important name in the toy world.
29:04Its 1913 Erector Set
29:07was one of the best-selling in the world,
29:10and in the next 40 years
29:13the company continued to release
29:16a wide variety of quite dangerous
29:19scientific sets for modern standards.
29:24The chemistry game taught
29:27children to make explosives.
29:30The glass blowing kit involved
29:33temperatures close to 500 degrees Celsius.
29:36The Atomic Energy Laboratory
29:38was the most absurd,
29:41with multiple types of uranium,
29:44a Geiger counter to measure
29:47the radioactivity and a cloud camera
29:50to observe alpha particles in action.
29:53Number 2.
29:56Toy guns, including compressed air guns.
29:59Guns!
30:02It doesn't matter if children are raised
30:05by registered members of the NRA
30:08they love to play with toy guns.
30:15Maybe it's because of the speed of the projectiles,
30:18the loud noises,
30:21the influence of popular television characters,
30:24or all the above.
30:27Compressed air and soft air guns
30:30can take your eye out,
30:33paintballs leave wounds,
30:35In the United States,
30:38there are more than 200 incidents a year
30:41in which toy guns are confused
30:44with real firearms.
30:47Although many toy guns
30:50are not intrinsically dangerous,
30:53they generally look like real ones
30:56and can cause serious injuries or death.
30:59We haven't reached the end yet,
31:02but we're almost there!
31:05I'm sure you'll like them.
31:08Now, let's go to the end.
31:11Number 1.
31:14We were kids, there weren't that many dumb kids.
31:17Because we had toys that would kill you.
31:20Remember lawn darts?
31:23These oversized projectiles,
31:26which are a cross between saws and darts,
31:29have plastic fins and rounded tips
31:32and heavy metal or sometimes plastic,
31:35simple fun in the open
31:38for the whole family,
31:41until someone is seriously injured
31:44or mortally by a lost dart.
31:47Also known as yards,
31:50were popular in the 1950s,
31:53but were later banned
31:56due to the injuries they caused.
31:59The ban was lifted in the 70s
32:02with the condition that they were never sold to children.
32:05When a 7-year-old girl died
32:08from being hit by one of these,
32:11it was proven that the regulation
32:14could not keep them away from the hands of the little ones,
32:17which led to a strict ban in the United States.
