Take a look at some famous toys that were deemed too dangerous for playtime.

 

Lawn darts

After three deaths and more than 7,000 injuries, the CPSC banned this horseshoes-style yard game played with weighted metal darts in 1988.

 

Sky Rangers Park Flyer Radio Control Airplanes

The CPSC recalled these toys in 2007, noting that they "can explode near the consumer's head, posing a risk of temporary hearing loss and injuries to eyes, face and hands."

 

Cabbage Patch Snacktime Kids

These dolls featured battery-powered mechanical jaws that allowed them to "eat" plastic snacks, but the dolls kept on chewing no matter what found its way inside their mouths — including fingers and hair — and Mattel recalled them in 1997.

 

Clackers

This toy earned its name from the two large acrylic balls, which made a loud noise when they hit each other. When swung too hard though, the balls could shatter.

 

U-238 Atomic Energy Lab

In 1951, the inventor of the Erector set released this lab that contained four uranium-bearing ore samples. It originally sold for $49.50, but was pulled from the shelves in under a year due to concerns that children could ingest the radioactive materials.
