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!

Power Wheels Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Ride-Ons

What Is This?

Fisher-Price released this battery run Ride-On toy to honor Harley Davidson Motorcycles for Kids

What Happened?

There was a slight issue with these particular vehicles...yes we all know motorcycles can be dangerous.  The problem was, these had a defect...the gas pedal would get stuck and there was no way to stop.  Before you know it that nice little ride around the house ends up in a violent accident with a tree.  Luckily only 1 report of injuries occured with this, however there were 9 cases of stuck pedals.

Aftermath?

In 2000 a recall was issued, and Folks were sent replacement pedal repair kits to resolve the issue
