According to the recall notice, the injuries received could be described as “severe.” These toys were taken off the market in 1997, but new, safer versions have been released since. Nothing like good old fashioned gender prejudice with children’s toys, am I right? The Suzy Homemaker line of “toys” is exactly what you’re picturing–a line of productions from the 1960s made specifically for young girls, featuring fake vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, ironing boards, ovens, blenders, etc. Jarts are lawn darts, which means they’re like regular darts but much bigger and much heavier. In 1987, they came under fire for their design. David Snow campaigned against Jarts, and a commission began investigating the toy. What they found was strange.In 2006, WeGo released the Kite Tube, which was a combination of a tube you pull behind a boat in a lake and a kite. The idea was that you put a child unit on it, pulled the Kite Tube behind your boat like you normally would, and the tube would take off several feet into the air like a kite, with the munchkin on it.

It’s cute, cuddly, and you can show off your artistic talent! The Doodle Bear was invented in New York by a man named Ed Kaplan in 1995. New models of these toys are on the market today, but they’re made from soft materials that don’t stand up in the water! Wham-O’s Slip N’ Slides Yeah, that can’t end badly According to a 2000 recall notice from the CPSC, "The hard plastic Sky Dancers dolls can fly rapidly in unpredictable directions, and can hit and injure both children and adults." How could something like this be dangerous? It’s soft, after all. On one side is a knot of hard plastic that connects to a soft-ish, fluid-filled ball with an elastic cord that could stretch several feet. That doesn’t sound too bad, right? Except it was. In fact, every part of this toy was a little hazardous. Yo-Yo Water Balls are exactly what you think. Yo-Yos that are full of water. That’s really all there is to it. It was made of the same elastic plastic you’d find in a stress ball so you could fill it with water and play with it in a pool. Honestly, it doesn’t sound all that fun, but kids are easily amused, so it was probably fine.

While other handheld consoles were available, the Game Boy totally dominated the market when it was released in 1989. People couldn’t get enough of games like Tetris, Prince of Persia, and Super Mario Land. The design was simple. You would sit on this platform a few inches from the ground and grab onto the handles. Beneath that platform were four wheels that swivelled for easy turning as you propelled yourself across the floor using your legs. The 1990s were a bit of a wild time for toys. That generation of kids was a test group for any kind of crazy idea that came into the heads of toy company executives. My brothers and I must have watched too many Mike Tyson fights because we went absolutely crazy with these things. That wouldn’t be much of a problem in and of itself if the toys actually stayed inflated. You couldn’t be the cool kid in the neighborhood unless you were cruising around on a Big Wheels. These giant toy bicycles came out in 1969, but sold like crazy in the early 1980s.
