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!

AK-47 Toy


What Is It?

It's a AK-47 replica so kids have something to point at others shouting "pew pew"

What Happened?

In 2013, 13 year old Andy Lopez was playing with his AK-47 replica and a Police Officer asked Andy to drop his weapon (believing it to be real).  For some reason Andy did not drop it, and the Officer then shot Andy 7 times (in a matter of 6 seconds) killing him instantly.

Aftermath?

Strict enforcement that all toy guns have an orange tip or be brightly colored.
