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!

Pogo Ball
What Is It?
It's a ball with a circular piece of plastic around it. You grip the ball with your feet and bounce!
What Happened?
Well let's say the weight limit was often ignored leading to disaster but the biggest issue is that people tried to jump as high as they could. Often on hard surfaces leading to broken teeth & ankles.
Aftermath?
Nothing really, these were made for a long time (and may still be made), because injuries often occured from improper use, there wasn't much that anyone could do.
