Toys That Will Hunt You Down (2)

Water Wiggle

This is the carry on of the list of the most dangerous toys that have ever been made. The toys on this half of the list were all released to the public and then taken back once people started to injure themselves. It may not be a good idea to look at getting one of these for Christmas toys.


Lawn Darts

These have to be one of the most dangerou toys to ever come into play as they have caused over 6000 injuries since their release in the late 70s. What was the reason for this? Well the ovbious reason is actually the right reason here as throwing darts at eachother really did never kick off. Although the kids were not actually supposed to be aiming at each other they were playing from opposite ends and firing in the general direction. Just one small miss and a child could be dead.

Mini Hammocks

These things are so silly as they were made for babies. Anyone know of baby that doesnt squirm around? The problem is that these inventions proved to be a bit of a venus fly trap than anything else and they were recalled after 12 fatalities.

Water Wiggle

The major problem with all od this was that the plastic part of it was very dangerous, other than that it looks pretty cool. Two children actually died because they used this toy however it was found that they took the toy off and drowned because they put the hose in their mouth.

The damage caused here was mostly from the plastic hitting the kids in the head. However compared to some of the boring water toys nowadays it actually looks like it could be worth a go.

So there you have it, some of the most dangerous toys known to man!
