10 most dangerous toys Toys ranging from a pair of oversized fists to plush ponies and energy beam blasters make the list.
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - What do dolls and ponies have in common with crossbows and energy beam blasters? They're all toys that have the potential to cause childhood injuries, or even death, according to an organization advocating toy safety.
World Against Toys Causing Harm, also known as W.A.T.C.H., issued its annual 10 Worst Toys list for 2005 on Thursday. Most of the toys on the list -- which aren't ranked in a particular order -- could cause choking or face and eye injuries.
The Toy Industry Association said the list is helpful in that it focuses attention on toy safety.
But "we have found in the past that the products that appear on this list have been proven by the Consumer Product Safety Commission to be safe," Julie Livingston, spokeswoman for the industry trade group said.

Oh, yeah, and Human Torch Dress-Up Costume. "It's a bunch of oily rags and a zippo".

Heck, toys that aren't dangerous are no fun at all. If you can't "put your eye out" with it, why bother.
Remember Dan Ackroyd on Saturday Night Live as a sleezy toy salesman trying to sell a bad of broken glass as a toy?

Oh man, I remember those. Bruised wrists like crazy. I seen a kid one cold winter long ago playing with those. He was clacking those things like crazy when they exploded in his face.

Thanks very much for sensibly killing a bureaucracy with your 'line item veto' strikeouts.
It was the only merciful thing to do.
