10 Worst Toys

Jump to Comments
  1. Go Diego Go Animal Rescue boat, by Fisher Price. Contains lead paint.
  2. Sticky Stones, GeoCentral. Magnetized stones that, if swallowed, could “stick together across the intestines, causing serious infections and death.”
  3. Jack Sparrow’s Spinning Dagger, Zizzle. Viewed as eye hazard.
  4. Dora The Explorer Lamp, Funhouse. Potential for electric shocks and burns.
  5. Lil “Giddy Up” Horse _ Sassy Pet Saks, Douglas. Contains fibers and small parts that could be a choking hazard.
  6. Spider Man 3 New Goblin Sword, Hasbro. Rigid plastic could cause injuries.
  7. Hip Hoppa, by Spin Master Ltd. and Vivid Imaginations, Ltd. A combination footboard and bouncing ball that children jump on has the potential for head and other injuries.
  8. B’Loonies Party Park, Ja-Ru, Inc. Children blow balloon-like toy out of substance squeezed from tube. Has potential for chemical ingestion.
  9. My Little Baby Born, Entertainment, Inc.; Zapf Creations AG. Baby doll comes attached to tiny pacifier that could be swallowed.
  10. Rubber Band Shooter, Simple Toys LLC. Shoots rubber bands and presents eye hazard.

First off, should a toy even be produced if one of its materials includes toxins??  Second, couldn’t just about anything be hazardous if you threw it at somebody? Therefore, Rubber Band Shooter should not be listed. People are so stupid, I swear. My recommendation - BAN all toys from China!!!

    Some of these seem like bad ideas from the start. “Jack Sparrow’s Spinning Dagger?” Really?

    I don’t think the Goblin Sword should be listed. The only way its plastic could cause injuries is if you hit somebody with it, in which case a Bible could cause injuries. Think about it.

    There is no excuse for the lead paint and other toxins. That is not an accident and those toys should all be banned.

    I think rubber band shooter should be listed because it probably shoots the rubber bands at a high rate of speed. The Hip Hoppa seems like a bad idea, too. Like basically a less-stable pogo stick, which has to be one of the most dangerous toys ever invented.
