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.
Me too. One of my favorites.
I had those. Ate the creepy crawlers. Vomited profusely all night long, but didn't make the association. The second time I figured it out.
Me too but ghe safer 90s one

@@natronfatumallafalla1922 That's how I learned nontoxic does NOT mean edible
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.
Was expecting this to show up on the list. I've heard of a fair few of the others on the list too, so it was a bit surprising that lawn darts weren't mentioned.
Yeah, one of the lunch ladies at my high school took one to the head as child. She suffered permanent brain damage and remained mentally disabled ever since. I always thought she was just born like that, when I found out I felt so bad.
the lawn darts aka jarts are what happen if you turn a romen weapon into a childs plaything
In 2020 they did re-release lawn darts with blunt ends
That's cruel. Bad enough these kids have darts in their heads, and now you're going to shun them, too? 😿
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.
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.
We didn't get really coddled in the 1960s growing up, you were expected to fall out of trees, wreck your bikes wearing shorts (and no helmets back then). Scrape your elbows and knees and your om would put Mercurochrome on it, which was also called Monkey Blood. Mercurochrome and another popular antiseptic of a generation or two ago, Merthiolate, contained mercury, and turned your skin red, which made it hard to see if you got infected. I had so many skinned knees and elbows, it was just normal.
Oh, and Flubber was a movie in 1961 called "The Absent Minded Professor" with Fred McMurry. The professor invented Flubber in the movie. There was a sequel in 1963 called Son of Flubber, McMurry also starred in. I remember those.
Merthiolate and mercurochrome looked similar, but the former was an alcohol-based product which burned like crazy. Mercurochrome was water-based, and didn't hurt.
Wow, you treated children a lot more maturely back then.
I have a plastic clacker
So clackers came back in the pilipines
@samuelrodriguez9801
The reason there was less concern about safety is actually pretty macabre.
Before antibiotics and vaccines child mortality was high.
If you have 12 babies and end up with 4 teenagers you were doing well.
once modern medicine made it an expectation that all your children would survive it became a much bigger deal to loose a child to an accident.
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.
except from school shootings and political exposure.
Slip and Slide: Not for use by adults
Adults: I see…immediately puts oil on it instead of water to slide faster
why would you cover yourself in oil 💀
11:50 *there’s a reason oven gloves exist.*
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.
So many ceiling fans so broken behind parents back by that one cousin or that brother got ahold of it. Lol sometimes they just didn't know how to hold back. They always had to pull that Cords hard as they could. No joke though it always surprised me how fast they could fly up and how fast they would smack that wall once it met the ceiling fan.
@@williamthompson1455 Oh my mom made it very clear that it was over for us if we used any projectile toys inside. If it wasn’t clear who was responsible, everyone was in trouble so we kept each other and any visiting kids in line lol
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.
Most of us made it to adulthood, but we sure sustained a lot of injuries and mishaps that would not be tolerated today.
> *most of us made it to adulthood*
who died and how
edit: clarity
@@vectorthehop3945 In my family, we all survived to adulthood. Amongst my small circle of friends, 3 motor vehicle accident fatalities and one case of asphyxiation (not the creepy kind). Oh, and somebody burned the house down, but we're not sure exactly how that happened. I shot myself through the hand with a homemade dart gun, partially severed a couple of fingers but was able to recover, had more burns, scrapes, electric shocks, falls, and bruises than I can remember, had a couple of severe injuries from bicycle accidents, fell out of a few trees, etc, etc, etc. My sister nearly bled out after running into, and shattering, one of those sliding glass patio doors. She wound up with a few hundred stitches. I don't think we were very well supervised, but there was also just a lot more tolerance for this back then. When I look back on it, it's actually pretty horrific, but at the time, that's just the way it was. Anyway, we didn't need tattoos or piercings because we were covered head to toe in stitches, bruises, burns, and scars.
*most of us*
@@kloverleavezisdeadlol The mortality rate was non-zero. But there were exceptions. 🤷🏼♂️
@@jaex9617 I think it’s really interesting too to compare it to things as well like corporal punishment in schools. Adults just eventually figured out that they couldn’t just let kids do anything they wanted unsupervised. My story is a bit different since mine is trauma related, but even in the 90s in my neighborhood it was common to just run out around the block and hang out with other kids. But nowadays we get helicopter parents and that’s damaging as well. Thankfully most of the safety changes from these toys has helped companies to make safer toys from the start.
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.
😏
…
this is obviously a lie
@@theachiever117 no it isn't
@@theachiever117 oh it's definitely real, i saw it on other videos
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 love blades [just cuz they have a triangle at the end. i love triangles]
Polly Pockets have actually been revived in a different sense now.
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 have never been able to slide head first,
Me too. My knee hasn't been right since it happened either 😕.
Maybe I’m strange but I really love learning about banned toys 😆
Thousands of other people do like me bud your not strange

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 had the 1990's moon shoes and loved them. Only problems I had with them was when I decided to use my teeth to switch out the rubber bands. I remember one of them snapping me on the lip and I had a fat lip for like a week straight. 😂
I was heart broken when my mom threw them away. She got tired of me wearing them in the house, such a bummer.
🍋👁
Grew up in the 90's. Surprised how many of the toys we grew were actually hazards to us. My grandmother was oblivious to reality and lived in her own reality. She would often say "It's part of your upbrining."
I had the roller blades for Barbie as a kid…I would hold them upside down and spark them on purpose. I once lit a candle with one on purpose. Thankfully, they were so rarely used on Barbie’s feet, they never started an accidental fire.
I rarely got them sparking (didn't use enough force I guess) I also used to use them on my bed...yikes, right?
I had a Mattel® Creepy Crawlers set and it was one of the most educational toys I ever had- I learned to LET THE MOLD COOL DOWN prior to removing it from the hot plate. Got some nasty burns from it but it did teach me well.
I melted lead shotgun pellets and made a lead bat
Using the molds Wich were metal
Smort
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.
One toy that missed this list was a plastic gun named "Suicide". we played with back in the early 70's. I remember it very well. This 5 or 6 barrel gun had to be loaded with a single "AA" Battery that was supposed to serve as a bullet. Once loaded you were supposed to spin the barrel , put the gun to your head and pull the trigger. If nothing happened you were supposed to pass it to the next person. Each person would do this until the battery lined up with the muzzle and once the trigger was pulled it would light up and make a loud Buzz sound. That meant the you were "dead" and out of the game. Each person would pass this gun around until there was only one person left. That person would be the winner.
I remember a pez dispenser gun .
Yeah, not the most thought out toy!
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.
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 actually have and own about more than 3 slap bracelets
@Pandorra Randall Ye I know but they’re fun to use
I love seeing parents on UA-cam on they always treat it like a church dinner.
I took the decoration on one off and it was made of
A cuted tape measure
what is your opinions about that they banned them just like that?
9:53
Narrator: "When a four year old boy shot a missile into his mouth and choked to death."
Background music: "It's time to get *funky!"*
I also had, and still have the Lionel electric train with metal tracks. if you happen to step on or touch the two metal tracks at the same time, it would shock the heck out of you.
I was gifted the cabbage patch doll for my 6th birthday, but my parents took it away because of the recall. I was so upset even though they explained to me that the dolls were harmful. I remember telling my grandma I wasn’t a dumb kid sticking my hair or fingers in the doll’s mouth.
So much nostalgia. I had or played with many of these. As for slap bracelets, I think most kids got hurt as a result of hitting each other as hard as we could with them.
I think those slap bracelets are still around today. Or at least where I live. they’re still allowed at my school.
Yea those injuries were definitely our faults 😂
@@lavinialadlass9432 yeah
My brother accidentally slapped the bracelet on my wrist too hard once. Mom was upset but only told him to be more careful
@@lavinialadlass9432 Atleast in my country, India you can buy them.
Another dangerous toy was the 1984 Transformers Megatron toy, it’s alt-form was a realistic Walter P-38 with scope, stock and suppressor. It was dangerous because of how easily people would mistake it for a real gun.
Used to use one of those kite tubes as a kid while out with my dad in his boat, even in very choppy water. Here they're called a 'biscuit' due to their shape. Myself and my siblings never personally had any problems, but we were also strong swimmers due to being raised close to the ocean. Looking back on it, I can easily see how someone without that asset could end up in a lot of trouble if they come off at a good speed and end up dazed and hurting under the water.

Wow, I had 5 of those toys. Gotta love being a kid in both the 80s AND the 90s!
Your parents tried hard to get rid of you obviously.
Right?!? I didn't get injured by any of toys I had that were mentioned here.
THE BEST TIMES! Creeee eeee eeepy CRAWLERS!
I think this is why the older generations are more careful, we learned of death at such a young age!
I didn't get injured from my Cabbage Patch doll, but I got the doll's hair stuck in its mouth. When playing with Barbie's skate, you could easily tell it was a lighter, minus the fluid used to keep a fire lit.
I am surprised some of the toys were brought back. The "safer" versions don't seem much safer. I also expected lawn darts to be on the list.
Yeah I remember me and my sister having a few of these. But I grew up with my friends using BB guns instead of airsoft. There's just something about seeing your friend in extreme pain because you're doing instead of laughing LOL
The fact that we get free documentaries on UA-cam by The Infographics Show is truly a gift 👍 👍 👍

Fifty-two years, 11 models, and more than 40 million units later, the Easy-Bake Oven continues to inspire young chefs. First released with 25 different mixes that included cakes, pizzas, and pretzels, it used what were essentially really hot light bulbs (temperatures could reach up to 375 degrees) to bake.
14:34 - Actually, I got that for Christmas years ago.
9:10 one of those things almost strangled me as a child. My sister had to run in, grab a siscor and come Back out to cut it. By that time I almost passed out. Never touched that thing again
I wonder how they even got released. Its obvious that this can wrap around your neck very easily
🤦

this was two years ago but ok
WAIT
hey at 14:19 my older sister that was six or seven at the time had one of those! that might have been one of the main causes of some of my mental disabilities but then again i was born with it far before this was even on the market! good to know that my sister didn't get more than a problematic gallbladder!
0:49:latto latto
Ok, who went into my parents’ basement to dig out my childhood?
Seriously - all of the toys from the 90s/2000s I either had or wanted so badly as a kid.
I remember having a good number of these as a kid lol. Didn't have a kite tube but I remember seeing them on the lake. Some of them got up to like 30 feet of air. We also saw someone fall from that height in some pretty shallow water and ended up getting sent to the emergency room.
I think a lot of theses toys(Except the guns and the lead/uranium toys) are only dangerous because no one supervises their kids. I played with darts as a kid, they had blunt ends and could still stick to the board but only played with them while my dad made sure I was safe.
Bombshell was my fave as kid, it was like dad's army but was banned for causing eye damage...always planned on buying it as adult for nostalgia.
The worst injury I had as a child was when I pulled a clock down on my head by the power cord. (I was a toddler.) Interesting that there has been no safety feature introduced addressing this.
Nah jit weird
Error Alert! Flubber goes back to a 1961 film produced by Walt Disney titled "The Absent Minded Professor" starring Fred MacMurray and written by Bill Walsh. I'm pretty certain that's where the substance's fame came from along with the inspiration for the 1997 reboot.
I LOVED my "Thingmaker" creepy crawler set with the plugin hotplate. I even had the Creeple-People spinoff accessory. Oh, and I had the mini dragon version. Our whole house STANK when I fired this thing up. And every now and then, I would get some of the goop right on the plate, and it would smoke like the devil. Still, even today I've heard of kids playing with dangerous "toys". One that comes to mind are high power laser pointers. Some of these cost as little as 10 bucks, but are powerful enough to blind little eyes.
I see three main problems with many of these.
1. Toxic ingredient(s)
2. Small parts
3. Unsafe temperatures
One thing I love about the infographics show is that I can listen to it without having to watch the video and still understand what's going on
Ikr
I remember weaponizing Sky Dancers 😂 god, that toy was awesome 😂
I remember this little glow-in-the-dark bird that my dad had from his childhood (my dad is about 74 now, so this dates back to the late 1950's) and come to find out (later) the bird had to be stored carefully and only viewed sparingly, as it was found to be radioactive (as at the time, they had been using radioactive materials to make things glow in the dark). He still has this toy to this day, but it stays locked up and is only shown for brief periods of time once in a great while for this reason. Not just with toys, but this does remind me of all of things we now know to be dangerous to people, such as the radioactive materials used for glow-in-the-dark items from the mid 20th Century, to other things like Agent Orange which was used during wars, which was later found to cause cancer. I'm sure that in some 20-30 years or something, they will find that all the lithium ion batteries we are using today will have some long-term negative impact on our health.
If you want an interesting (but sad) 10ish min mini-documentary about radium in items, the you should watch the Radial Girls video by Fascinating Horror here on YT. I binged his whole channel just recently. Very interesting videos!
I think the company knew about the health hazards of Agent Orange, it made too much from the government, so they kept quiet about it for years.
I was home schooled, I had creepy crawlers...we used it to make the bugs, and identify the different parts of an insect, or a spider. We were helped by parents, and were never burned, we used oven mits.
7:24 that's absolutely horrifying. That no doubt left some kids with serious trauma lol
It's crazy how these companies take the heat for negligent parents. Obviously some are just not OK like the GHB beads lol
10:01 bro committed suicide…
I remember having one of those flying fairy toys when I was younger I lost it tho thankfully without getting hurt anytime while using it
Ah... I used to have one myself... well, the brother version of it, Dragon Flies. But we didn't use them mainly too afraid to use them inside and we can't fly them outside because the yard was too small and didn't want them to stuck on a house roof.
Quite interesting how a radioactive toy set was available to buy, and give to children. I am certain I would've bought that for myself, once I would see it
I like slime
i wonder if the idiot who came up with the idea ever got arrested
I think a lot of those deaths and injuries are the results of a lack of adult supervision. I'm a 90s kid and I had lots of "dangerous" toys. I only ever got hurt when I misused those toys. It's called "Watching your kids and following directions." Kids today are not dumb but are less taught by their parents and parents these days rarely pay attention to their kids. As a parent myself I always nurture a healthy paranoia.
It’s why we can’t have nice things.
@@PsychologicalApparition Or fun things.
Yeah, unfortunately you can’t trust parents to watch their children like they should when using things like easy bake ovens and science kits and parents prefer to blame to the toy makers instead of themselves for not supervising.
I had the creepy crawler, easy bake oven, snap bracelet, Polly pocket (both tiny and normal size), sky dancers, the rollblading barbie, the pokemon kids meal toys (mom's favorite was the screaming toy), and the feed me cabbage patch kid. Both my sister and I turned out fine when we played with our toys. Heck, my sister had a maker that was similar to the creepy crawler, but it created dolls.
13:15 just W H Y
Actually I felt sorry for many company. It wasnt seems harmless but still getting banned. especially pokemon have experienced this a lot lol.
I had the creepy crawlers, loved those things, got burned a time or two but that never stopped me from playing with it.
Dude, sky dancers were my favorite projectiles ever 😂😂
I actually remember these toys and I had so much fun playing with them but I never got hurt I got hurt riding my bike but that's because I was still learning
Imagine a world where every toys is as dangerous as the ones here
Whatever kids survived would grow up smarter and stronger.
Gotta weed out the weak and gullible to get the strong and smart that's what I'd say
Congrats to all that survived after playing with these toys. That included me.

I remember watching a restoration of a toy oven from the 1920's (crazy how you are going to need to specify the century very soon). It didn't have any kind of thermal protection, it ran mains power on unprotected heating elements, and it was painted with lead based paint. Now that's a great population filter.
Somehow you missed Lawn Darts. I can't tell you how many close calls we had with them. All the fun of horse shoes with another order of magnitude of danger.

Also I never had an official slip and slide. My family simply used a nylon tarp covered in soap.
This reminds me of the classic SNL skit with Dan Aykroyd: "Big bag of broken glass"
okay so i love this channel but there is only one thing i need to correct: i had one of those baby dolls that ate stuff you gave them and no, it didn't have the power to damage a human finger, however it could get hair tangled and rip it out due to the mechanical cilinders inside (i... learned the hard way).

I had the flubber toy, one day I was just rolling it around on the table and my mom comes in and immediately starts freaking out. I looked just like the example kid with red dots everywhere. Cleared up quickly after we threw the flubber away.
13:50 “With less than 5000 kids being sold”
Is this a mistake?
No they sold 5000 kids
10:18 I actually remember little 4 year old me hopping into one of these with my friend in the driver seat, and my man actually tried to drive off into a street. His dad caught up to us and pulled the little plug In the trunk right before we were about to ride right into a vehicle going full speed.
This video makes me feel old. Thanks. lol
I can't believe this didn't include lawn darts. Because inebriated adults throwing metal javelins around the yard sounds really safe.
Well, considering that they're based on the ancient Roman plumbata weapon, the accidents aren't too surprising.
I remember the hover boards that kids would plug them into the home's electric outlets. The flaw in the systems were that the electrical batteries would compost causing fires. The other flaws is that adults would fall attempting to ride them. The adults had many emergency room visits, more then children.
It's funny how Adult still want to play, even after warning not for adult, then sued the company for their own fault ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
I remember having a water yo-yo!! I loved those things! Also my brother and I would drench them in hand sanitizer and light them on fire while playing with them..
The last time I used a Slip-N-Slide was in the 80's. We were all in our 30's and we always used inflatable pool rings to cushion the landing. Worked fine with the right technique. (you didn't want to step on the slide as your last step) The false sense of security there is that since we didn't get hurt, I'd almost be willing to try it today...lol.

Barbie wasn't the only toy line to use the spark technique. Previously, the Transformers Generation 1 toy line had figures that also used it, namely the Sparkabots and Firecons and the Monsterbots.
As a kid in the 60's and 70's, our family had several of these toys. We all survived into adulthood. We had a chemistry set that I am sure had several toxic substances that could have killed you. My parents just said, "be careful when playing with that and don't put anything in your mouth."
I saw a slip’n slide commercial as a kid and thought, that looks fun! Little I know that it was a really thin sheet of plastic and not only did you hit the ground pretty hard, rocks underneath it could scrape you up. I think I used it one time and that was enough. And yes as an adult I watch other “grown ups” use these to hilarious effect. 🤣🤣🤣
3:55 god, that's a blast from the past... i had them for like 10 minutes before my mom took them away, because i was trying to use them on a sidewalk
In the case of the Easy Bake Oven, that's not Hasbro's fault, that's the parent's fault. They know they're supposed to be watching their own kids when using an oven, whether it's an actual oven or a toy oven, but as we all know, most parents hate the idea of taking responsibility for their actions, and shift the blame onto others.
I remember around 2005-7ish my brother got some moon boots for christmas, fun as heck
I remember when Aqua dots first came out, saw the commercials for them on Nickelodeon. I was like wow those look like fun! But after a personal experience I knew the toys were never as good as they were in the commercials. So I didn’t bother. I didn’t think kids would be poisoned by them.
The fact that 1940s kids were competent enough to handle mini electric stoves whereas kids today are too dumb to handle a water filled yo-yo really shows how dumb youth has gotten over time.
The reason so many of these company’s develop dangerous toys is because kids from the previous generation were intelligent enough to handle them safely.
Exactly! Who TF shoots a missle into their mouth?!9:55
Okay, boomer, now please take the uranium and swallow it, before heating the led and swallowing it too.
Those kids WEREN'T competent enough to handle them. Did you miss the parts where they got hurt or killed?
@@asteria9963 Yes a few kids had accidents.
But the vast majority had no problem with it.
Kids today would end up killing themselves in large numbers from some of the old school toys that caused minor injuries to a few kids back then.

I like how You animate the kids to look more than happy. I like that. I was an abuse kid I fantasized about being one of those happy kids. But I had a chance to have one of my own and see it for myself. He was happy too.
I used to have an easy bake oven, a knock off sky dancer doll, a mini car, slap bracelets, and mini hammocks (I was born in 2009). It's funny cuz I didn't even know some of these were banned! I actually have aqua beeds sitting in my closet, thank god my mom never got me the aqua dots because I remember asking for them when I was little but after they stopped showing up on commercials I started asking for the aqua beeds.
This brings back a lot of nostalgia. I'm glad that a lot of these toys were removed from the market.

0:23 hey I had one of those! But I was too scared to take it back out. Had my mom do it. Made some good brownies
A lot of these toys I grew up with. I'm suddenly so glad I was the cautious play type as a little kid😨
I had an original Easy Bake Oven, and I loved it. Most of my friends had one, and afaik, none ever got burned on one. We had a slip and slide, which I refused to use once I was about 14. The little ones love it, though. My daughter had a sky dancer, which gave us some good laughs when it went where it shouldn't have gone. I wonder if they still make little pink sewing machines like I had in the 60s or if they've been banned too (it did have a real needle)?
I'm not supposed to have a Google account due to being 10 yrs old but at least a few companies make mini sewing machines. My mom bought me one
That's cool to know someone still sells them. Thanks for letting me know.
I also had the creepy crawler toy when I was about 7-8 in the very early 90's.
