“Congrats to everyone who is early and who found this comment”🏆
I had the “Creepy Crawler -Thing Maker” as a kid and never had a problem playing with it. No burns or eating the plastic bugs it made. And mine was the original since I was about 8 in the ‘60’s.
I'm surprised lawn darts weren't mentioned. We had them in Cub Scouts, but some kids got lawn darts in their heads, so they're banned.
As a kid I learned you can also start a fire with a magnifying glass. "Safe for kids" is basically a meaningless phrase to a youngster determined to cause mischief.
Polly Pockets have actually been revived in a different sense now.
Slip and Slide: Not for use by adults
Honestly, my sister and I had quite a few of these also. But it goes to show the big difference a little bit of common sense and parental supervision can make. But regardless, I'm happy that no more kids got hurt than they did.
Gilbert also made a chemistry set with real chemicals that you could make stink bombs, light things on fire, and make ink (I stained my mom's antique rug with mine). They made a microscope too. I had a Water Wiggle, Slip and Slide, Clackers, and the Easy-Bake Oven. There was also a real iron that plugged into the wall and got hot that you could iron clothes with (just made small for kids). I had that too, weird.

I was born in the 1960s in a family with six kids and very generous grandparents. We had pretty much every death toy released prior to 1980. And then, there were all the creative things we found ways to make, misuse, and destroy on our own.
I remember using a slip n slide when I was 9. My parents and I didn't realize that there were little plastic bits that were meant to be hammered into the ground and keep it in place. When I used it, one of the plastic bits lodged itself firmly in my knee. I'm 31 now and I still have that scar.
I loved playing with the Magnetix as a kid. Never thought they looked like candy though. I had Moon Shoes that I actually played with regularly, though I wound up using all but 3 elastic bands on them so I wouldn't bottom out on my jumps. There was a gas powered pogo stick that I'm surprised wasn't on here.
I remember having one of the Sky Dancer dolls. I only used the flying feature a few times (outside lol) because I had one too many close calls with it almost landing on the roof. After that, she became Barbie’s fairy cousin visiting from out of town.
Wow. The 1998 Power Wheels recall was one of the first news reports I remember hearing about. Also, I remember seeing commercials for a lot of these old toys.
Maybe I’m strange but I really love learning about banned toys 😆

I gotta say, I am incredibly surprised that Lawn Darts didn't make this list. I too had the "Creepy Crawler - Thing Maker" and never had any problems with it.
I knew that the Easy Bake Oven would be on here. I actually owned slap bracelets. My daughters owned the Sky Fliers and never had any problems. All 3 of my kids had Power Wheels also. A lot of these toys I have never heard of so this was really informative. Thank you for another great video and I hope everyone has a wonderful day.
I've read a story about a toy that got recalled, not because it was dangerous, but because it was angering parents. It was a toy Harry Potter broomstick, that vibrated. The recall reason? Well....girls of all ages were enjoying this broom too much.
I had the CSI kit, my grandparents gave it to me for christmas. The recall was announced before I ever used it. I still have it sealed in box to this day. My parents never told me what was wrong with it and I only learned today that I now have a bag of asbestos powder sitting around in my closet somewhere. Thank god I never opened it.
