the first generation have reliable
high-speed Internet and a cell phone in
every pocket with such technological
marvels you would think this generation
of children wouldn't have time for toys
much less toys that had the potential to
kill them a decade known for the razor
scooter Bratz dolls
Heelys and children across the country
neglected their real dog for robotic
ones for this list all things top-five
looks at the most dangerous toys from
the 2000s that resulted in injury or
death
it's a miracle Toys R Us lasted as long
as it did
other shops gone the gap Starbucks Toys
R Us who will remember all those
landmarks and last we tell the world of
it number 5 magnetics Nanak's became a
parent's nightmare in 2007 after many
children suffered serious injuries after
swallowing the magnets that had fallen
out of the plastic pieces
my nanny's building says feature plastic
pieces I could break open spilling small
yet powerful balls that's what he said
right guys cuz of gay now we're usually
swallowed by curious toddlers
unlike most small objects swallowed in
this manner the Magnus didn't pass
through the digestive system instead
they connected with each other through
tissue walls sometimes forming large
masses that twist and test isn't cut off
blood supply to vital organs requiring
surgery the result can be a painful
death within hours
magnetics manufacturer Mega Bloks
released a statement saying it had no
record or knowledge of a similar
occurrence involving this toy in 2005 22
month old Kenny died after nine tiny
magnets were reattached inside his
bowels three million magnetic sets sat
on store shelves for four months after
Kenny's death when they were finally
recalled at least 34 more children were
known to have been injured oh my god
number 4 Polly Pockets nineties kids
will remember the original Polly Pocket
compact but it was a later version that
actually caused a major Safety Alert a
few years after launching this quick
click line in 2004 Mattel recalls 7.3
million plays that's due to you guessed
it
faulty magnets of all the toys in the
world that could harm your child you
think Polly Pocket would be on the very
bottom of the list they're cute and
harmless and besides it's just a bunch
of dolls and a playhouse what could
possibly go wrong it's almost as if
Mattel intentionally designed the
dollhouse for little kids for each piece
of scientifically engineered to fit
inside a child's throat young children
being young children would eat the
magnets or stick them in noses and ears
which is bad enough on its own
the CPSC mentioned around 170 cases of
rogue magnets which resulted in three
cases of hospitalization for children
number three si si fingerprint
examination kit in 2007 a science kit
based on the hit TV show that kids
probably shouldn't be watching prove to
be more dangerous than the stories told
in a murder porn crime drama kids got to
live out their CSI fantasy of dusting
fingerprints and collecting bodily
fluids off a dead prostitutes body a
stated that kid allowed children to dust
for fingerprints the problem is that the
powder used a dust for said fingerprint
was chock full of asbestos the
Environmental Working Group reported
that the powder contained up to 7% of
tremolite one of the most dangerous
forms of
Vestas and more than enough to cause
cancer later in life is it dangerous
legally I have to say yes but personally
I don't think it's a problem
how could asbestos hurt you it's got
best write in it rather than wait for
the CPSC to negotiate a recall
yes bestest disease awareness
organization filed a civil action to
stop sales of the kit it took 20 months
for CBS to agree to a settlement in the
class-action lawsuit and finally issue a
recall of the toy it was never made
clear why's bestest was included in the
fingerprint powder which could easily be
inhaled but many customers blame China
says that game was manufactured there is
not enough we demand more asbestos
asbestos number 2 Hannah Montana pop
star card game before Miley Cyrus was
poisoning the youth of America with her
twerking she was poisoning them with her
Hannah Montana pop star card game which
contains lead at 75 times the legal
level and Hannah Montana can go back to
naked straddling the three-ton and
wrecking ball she was clearly up sold at
Home Depot second only to arsenic LED is
one of the deadliest household toxins in
existence the American Academy of
Pediatrics recommends that no toy
contains more than 40 parts per million
lead which is why was so alarming her
lab tests revealed a Hannah Montana
popped our card game contained led at
seventy five times that level a whopping
three thousand parts per million Hannah
Montana wasn't the only wrecking ball in
2007 one study found that 35% of all
toys on the shelves contain high levels
of lead and nearly five percent
contained arsenic or cadmium by years
and there had been 42 recalls involving
6 million toys for excessive lead levels
but Hannah Montana stayed on the shelves
because the lead was found in his vinyl
not in the paint and thus was not
covered by the regulation
I thank the man upstairs that we live in
a country where the corporation's can
reap the profits from a death machine
and through the use of loopholes and
disclaimers not be liable when the
lawsuits start flooding in before we get
