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!

Gilbert Glass Blowing Kit





What Is It?

A mini glass blowing kit for Children of course (so they can make their own pipes...or something)

What Happened?

Glass blowing is very very dangerous, with this kit they teach you how to raise the temperature to over 1000 degrees.  It doesn't come with any safety equipment of any kind, in fact they encourage children to try this with their bare hands.

Aftermath?

Really not sure what happened here, unfortunately not much info available but I'm pretty sure back in the 1920s it was perfectly acceptable for a toy to give a few major injuries
