Despite the fact that most parents put an awful lot of time and effort into selecting only the most suitable and age-appropriate toys for their children, companies seem hell-bent on putting out products whose inappropriateness beggars belief. Of course, this almost always leads to a backlash from concerned consumers, leaving the company with egg on its face and an awful lot of products to recall. Let’s look at some of the most inappropriate children’s products ever.

When I was about 10 I would go in the woods find a good gree stick ,get a piece of string and make a bow. Arrows were the straightest stick I could find. My horse was a stick with another string I ran with it between my legs.
My first race car was a crate I attached a steering wheel to,it never moved but it was fast./ We built cabins in the woods and dug foxholes in a sawdust pile.We went out in the morning and came back at noon for lunch.
Kids today need to use their imaginations and build their own toys.

Twin Towers Attack Toys My Pat used to build terrorist attack scenes with Lego, after Anoreth read him the complete works of P.J. O'Rourke. It confused normal people.

Sorry. I don’t follow strange women to dubious locations anymore. At least not very often.
You didn’t even offer me candy.

He’s a barrel of dysfunctional laughs and inappropriate humor. Why not list the products?

I would have started, personally, with Oreo Barbie. That’s just hilarious.

I’m sure blogs are breathing a sigh of relief.
Relax. It’s just a funny sub.

It's log, log. It's big, it's heavy, it's wood.
It's log, log. It's better than bad, it's good.
I think I pulled something laughing at the vibrating Nimbus flying broom from Harry Potter's movies. Who wouldn't know that was a bad idea?
