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.
The nimbus broomstick is scary LoL

I will step out on a limb here and guess this is what happens when you have things manufactured overseas. I bet the kids in Asian sweatshops cranking out these toys think our children must be vapid twits.
Oreo Barbie aint down wit da struggle!
As a child, I would disappear at dawn and return at dusk. At least most of the times.
My friends and I would play war, cowboys and indians, or play sports. Halfball, football, tag, and hide and seek. There was NO imagination about it, we just did it. My best friend and I went to our school and got mats so we could wrestle like our heroes, Bruno Samartino, Gorilla Monsoon, and George “The Animal” Steel. (You go, you see! For those that remember.)
Our children NEED to be disconnected. They need to be pulled away from the modern conveniences. They need to spend some time in the dark, only illuminated by a campfire.
Darn! My buddies and I used to hunt racoons with a garbarge can! We need to see that again in our children.
She must be an Alan West staffer.
We had hare gums our dads helped us make, a small box’ with a stick that triggered the door, baited them with a onion.
I got my first hatchet at about ten , my first shotgun at 12.
I have to admit my mouth fell open at ‘Oreo Barbie.’ What were people thinking?
Love the vibrating Harry Potter broomstick, though. : )
I’m still a little perplexed why my “Ginzu For Toddlers 3 to 5” was met with such scorn when I gave it as a gift.
Sams has em..... The call them elderly aids. Install em next to a bed or recliner so the older folks can hang on to help em stand up.
Glitter is optional....
I think Homeland Security calls it a weapon of mass destruction these days.
I WANT THAT!
Hatchets were cool because you could throw them like a tommyhawk.
back before life wimped out on us
OMG!
Hatchets were cool because you could throw them like a tommyhawk.
If you had Log for a target and a tomahawk.... fun would ensue.
One of the bestest things I ever had when I was a kid was compartmented boxes full of fishing lure parts, hooks, spinners, beads, feathers, leaders...
I could spent forever making lures and testing them out.
Maybe it sounds stupid, but it was educational, useful and fun.
Jarts were lethal (but fun!). My grandpa’s BBQ grill had a hole in it made by one of those projectiles.
