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!

Wego Kite Tube


What Is It?

It is a round inflatable device designed to towed behind a boat.  As the boat picks up speed...the kite tube flies very high in the air.

What Happened?

There was very little to hang onto with these toys, just some little handles...so as it came crashing back into the water...so did the unwitting victim.  This meant many injuries reported (39) including:  broken back, punctured lung, facial injuries, back injuries and so forth.  

Aftermath?

In 2006 the Kite Tube was recalled, they have since been redesigned for safety reasons.
