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!

Swing Wing


What Is It?

It's a gizmo from the '60s.  Kids wore a beanie cap with a swinging bunch of streamers attached.

What Happened?

Kids would wack themselves in the head with the streamers...but the bigger issue is the neck and back injuries whipping your head around would cause.

Aftermath?

I'm not sure, they were made in the '60s and don't seem to be made currently.
