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.

I really believe that it is lost on this generation to be an ADVENTURER. I loved my cartoons and home games, yet I still have the scars of my youth.

Not to brag, but, I’ve had to teach doctors how to stitch a cut. A few of them recognized my knowledge, but most balked against it.

Bottom line, get your children outdoors!

I have to admit my mouth fell open at ‘Oreo Barbie.’ What were people thinking?

Well, the Democrats were probably thinking "doesn't looking like Condi Rice enough"...

When I was a little kid my daddy tried to get me to play a game where I was buried up to my neck in the sand at one end of a horseshoe pit. He called it catch the horseshoe.

I didn't like the game that much.

I was once at a party and the hosts of it are now dead. They were having a picnic attended by their kids and their grandkids and their great-grandkids. And the grandkids were all saying how great it used to be to come to the grandparents’ house because they got to do dangerous stuff in the barn, like swinging from ropes into haybales... etc. It was a wonderful unsupervised paradise. Then grandma (at THIS gathering) got out those lawn darts for the great-grandkids and all of these NOW parents yelled, “No! Grandma those are dangerous!”

My father taught me to swim.
I surely thought I would drown but once I got out of the burlap sack it was pretty easy.

The part I didn’t like was them damn kittens kept scratchin me.
