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!

Cuddle With Me Doll

 
 
What Is It?
 
It's a doll that was sold at Costco called "Cuddle With Me".  It featured an African-American child with a stuffed monkey wearing a hat that says "Lil' Monkey" on it.
 
What Happened?
 
A large outcry from the community as it is extremely racially insensitive.
 
Aftermath?
 

Costco pulled these dolls off of the shelves and offered an apology.  The "Cuddle With Me" dolls were reissued with pandas instead.
