Dangerous Toys

Filed under: — Shane Thacker 4:56 pm

It’s Christmas, and therefore the time for various media outlets to list dangerous toys. Radar has a good one, listing a few toys that were out when I was a kid. What I like about this sort of list is the indication the corporate world of the Seventies not only wasn’t concerned about us swallowing small toy pieces, but they actually wanted us to use open hot plates for melting plastic and to throw weighted metal darts at each other. Survival of the luckiest, or at least the kids who preferred to read. :)
