10 Things I Want for Christmas
Cool. Dig the pic of the kid being hit by a lawn dart.
Going to figure out how to use 'like a lawn dart to the head' in my End=of-Year music review.
Features : Radar Online: "ast month, Target recalled 10 of its Kool Toyz-brand play sets, citing hazards like 'lead paint,' 'sharp points,' and 'puncture wound potential.' The toys, which included plastic aircraft carriers, dinosaurs, and tanks, all appeared harmless enough. But according to the killjoys at the Consumer Product Safety Commission, children—at least those prone to eating plastic objects as big as their head—were at serious risk. A week later, Mattel recalled 4.4 million Polly Pocket dolls and accessories because kids were swallowing the toy's magnets. The Associated Press reported, 'If more than one magnet is swallowed, they can attach to each other and cause intestinal perforation, infection or blockage.' Three children required surgery.
In the last year alone, some eight million units of toys were recalled in the U.S., according to W.A.T.C.H., a toy-safety advocacy group. But Kool Toys and Polly Pockets are kids' stuff compared to the hazardous baubles of yesteryear. In the spirit of the holidays, Radar presents the 10 most dangerous toys of all time, those treasured playthings that drew blood, chewed digits, took out eyes, and, in one case, actually irradiated. To keep things interesting, we excluded BB guns, slingshots, throwing stars, and anything else actually intended to inflict harm. Below, our toy box from hell.
