What Is It?
It's an activity toy made by Mattel starting in 1963 which allows Kids to make creepy worms and so forth.
What Happened?
In order to make these worms and creatures, Kids needed to handle a chemical compound and an oven heated to 390 degrees. So even if you didn't burn your fingers messing with a hot hot oven, you still got to inhale toxic fumes from the chemical compound and it was toxic if eaten.
Aftermath?
The chemical compound was changed to a non-toxic formula, and the ovens now locked until the compound was done cooking.
