How long will it be until we see the recall of this device, after some kid decides to try it out by diving off the fifth story roof of his apartment building??






We are light years beyond merely shooting out your eye...

My guest tonight is Mr. Irwin Mainway, President of Mainway Novelties, and Chairman of the Board of Mainway Latex Corporation. Mr. Mainway, you are clearly the main flagrant offender in this area. For instance, your company manufactures and distributes this Halloween costume.. [ picks it up and holds it ] ..Johnny Space Commander mask, which retails for $6.95. It’s nothing more than a plastic bag and a rubber band. This is very dangerous for young children!

Irwin Mainway: [ grabs the costume ] Okay, I’m gonna say something about my product right here, Johnny Space Commander mask. I want to say, first of all, it’s a very fluid item, in terms of sales. I don’t know, Miss Face, if you’re familiar with the movie “Star Wars”? Well, this movie has generated a tremendous amount of popularity and enthusiasm about space and science fiction. [ rips open the costume packaging ] This Johnny Space Commander mask here is a pure fantasy toy. I mean, you know, kids can have a lot of fun with a toy like this, you know? Let me show you.. [ puts the plastic bag over his head, then wraps the rubber band around it ] “Hello, hello, this is Johnny Space Commander. I’m in deep space, I’m gonna land the rocket now!” You see what I mean? [ takes off the plastic bag ] You see what I mean? It’s a pure fantasy toy!

I nominate bicycles as the greatest invention for injuring children ever devised.

Heck we drew a big S on a sheet and tried to fly off our garage when I was a kid. The fall didn’t hurt nearly as much as by backside when my mom saw it was a good sheet.

The most dangerous irresponsible toy for 2010 is hands down the printing press located at the Federal Reserve.

Buyer beware and beware even more as it comes from China.

[SIDENET]

I'm so lucky that they didn't make that toy when I was a kid.

I would have "flown" to my death while holding my trusty (shoot yer eye out) BB gun.

I never did ANYTHING dangerous and stupid in a half ass manner.

They called it a dangerous game; but there was nothing wrong with "Poke in the Eye with a Sharp Stick!"

I'll never forget the television ad - Roll the Dice and Take Your Chances!

I prefer the “bag of glass”

[kingu]

Most dangerous toys in my opinion are: Anything that is ‘safe’ for kids. Helmets, knee pads, etc. A good bonk on the head teaches far more about the world than the ‘safety’ bubble we put our children in today. I’m starting to see helmets on kids who are just walking around with their parents at the market, and not because of having some physical or mental challenge. Just normal kids and too protective parents.
