Welcome

I've just started this brand new blog September 22 2014 as a comprehensive list of toys that are either dangerous or disturbing. Consider it a safety warning to take these toys away from your Children, or just be ghoulish and read through to see how you could have injured yourself mentally or physically as a Child. Please be patient as I add entries, this will be ongoing. Thanks so much for coming by!

Mini Hammocks



What Is It? 

Well a hammock for babies and toddlers of course

What Happened?

Have you ever tried to sit on a hammock?  Okay so easy to fall out of and get stuck in as a grown-up....now imagine an infant in the same position.  These mini hammocks also did not feature spreader bars to keep the hammock open so it's super easy to get these all twisted.  Between 1984-1995 at least 12 deaths were reported as well as many other injuries happened.

Aftermath?

In 1996 the US Government issued warnings and a recall on these items
