As to the Magnetic-X toy, here's a simple tip, DON'T EAT THEM. And if you have children not safely capable of using such a toy, don't buy it. Simple. Man that toy was fun! Plus, the smell of the caps after you fired them was amazing to this youth.
I agree! I was suprised to see it on my list as it was one of my son's favourite toys. I heard about the swallowing magnets thing and reasoned that it was a toy for older children that had passed the toddler 'put everything in their mouth' phase. Common sense really.
Remember warning labels was invented to remove natural selection from life. B4 warning labels natural selection taught valuable lessons now stupid kids don't learn they grow into stupid adults 😢😮
Some "dangers" are the result of parents not being attentive. Don't give clay to your toddler who has not yet mastered the concept of "only food goes in our mouths".
@ShadowWolf78336 I see you posting this on several comments which point out that parents should pay attention to their kids. But, "Age 3+" was NEVER intended to mean that parents should just allow their toddlers to play with the toys WITHOUT supervision. I've never known anyone who would allow a toddler to even just DO NOTHING without supervision.
As a kid growing up in the '60s and '70s, I remember a lot of these toys. We didn't know they were dangerous, so we never got hurt.😉 Of course, we never *ate* them! 🤔 There were no childproof tops on medicine, either. It just had a horrible taste. The only thing that tasted like bubblegum was .... [drum roll] BUBBLEGUM. That did occasionally get swallowed, but I don't personally know of any casualties from it.
I had a magnetic construction set, and the magnets did come loose. But guess what I never attempted to do? Swallow them. And hey look I'm still here. Survival of the smartest.
@@ShadowWolf78336 And the funny thing is I'm fully blind from birth. So can't read the label. But ya know, even when I was a kid, I was pretty sure magnets would taste horrible haha.
We always used super glue to put them back and make them stay for a month or 2 before they'd pop out again but yea we never thought oh hey let's see what happens if I swallow this.
Toy tommy guns? That's considered dangerous, seriously? I had that gun as a kid, and I can tell you that back then no kid was mistaken for criminal and shot because he had a cap gun. People are just so incredibly paranoid these days, and sometimes for good reason, but back then, kids with real guns was unheard of. We played army and cops and robbers all the time and no one ever thought that was something to worry about. Today, I understand things are much different, but in the 60s? Not dangerous at all.
Well, in fact, police kill people waiving fake guns all the time. Even children! Regulations have changed (1992, toy gun tips were painted orange), but menacing has not. The problem was never the toy.
One day in the summer of love (2020) I was leaving for work and had to wait for 2 small children ages 5 and 8ish playing in the street unattended. As I patiently waited for them to learn that you shouldn't play in the street I heard one yell out "let's play 'run from the po-lice!'" She then began making a siren noise as she chased the little boy through the yards. New spin on "cops and robbers" I guess.
@@mham1330 Nice to know I was not the only one that did that! Taking a hammer to a roll of pop caps. We probably set off more of those that way than in an actual cap gun.
I got to be honest, the Magnetix issue is on the parents. If an older kid is playing with it and they have a younger baby in the house as well, keep an eye on the baby! Some of the others on here are the same way.
I bought my two daughters a nice chemistry set last year. It's age appropriate and not very dangerous, but I still make sure I'm with them during all experiments
@@martyiiilacaze9697 Last time i checked, toys are ment for kids. At least most of them... And kids dont go the same way adults do. So... yeah, kids are in more vulnerable position.
to be fair on the easy-bake-oven: I think having at least some cooking ability should be something everyone should have, and a childrens toy that fosters this from a young age is a effective way to do that. Through maybe with some parental supervision.
I learned to cook and bake from an early age (2). When Mum was making biscuits (cookies) she would always give me a piece of dough to roll out with my kiddie baking set and cutters. The biscuit I made was kept especially for my Dad when he came home from work. By the age of 10 could cook a roast dinner and made my Dad a birthday cake from scratch, the cake, marzipan then royal icing and decorated. All done with a wooden spoon as we didn't have a food mixer. Using the oven was done under supervision until my parents were sure I was competent to do it on my own. That was almost 60 years ago and I still enjoy cooking and baking at the present day although I do have labour saving devices such as my beloved Kenwood Chef (UK version of the Kitchen Aid) and Instant Pot. If kids don't do, they'll never learn.
I remember watching cooking shows on TV with my sitter, where they prepare a dish, put it in the bottom oven, talk a little bit, and take the fully cooked cake, casserole, etc. out of the *top* oven. For a long time I thought this was Easy Bake Oven for grown-ups.😅😅😅
@@tb6303 The original Clackers had been known to break wrist bones. My dad was a wholesaler for them in the 70s. The redesign came w hard plastic balls instead of glass and a hard plastic wrist protector. by then it was too late and no stores would accept them anymore for fear of liability.
naaah man. Those shits just had a resurgence last year in my country on god knows why. The noise it made from multiple kids, and by multiple I mean almost ALL KIDS doing it will make you go crazy. From every corners of the Philippines you can hear that "TAKATAKATAKATAKA". Thank god the hype died down but most adults probably will have PTSD when hearing that same sound again lol.
I actually have two Sky Dancers, both of which were limited edition -- a pink girl with a swan launcher, and a purple girl with a pegasus launcher. I never hurt myself on them, but I absolutely used to pull the cord as hard as I could and then try to catch the wings while they were spinning. Kids really do make their own fun, lol.
The Swing Wing is identical to a hat worn in some traditional South Korean dances. Re: the Easy Bake Oven - when I was a kid, like around 1963, we had a toy stove and oven that had actual burners and an oven that heated up. It got so hot the burners glowed. I also had a toy iron that got hot enough to melt the plastic curtains I was trying to iron for my mother. Didn’t see the iron after that. Sometimes I wonder that my generation survived childhood.
Starting in the late 60s into the early 80s my family had an annual lawn dart tournament as a family reunion in the beginning it started with one set of "Jarts" but by the last time I attended we had 20 games going on at one time. It was loads of fun and yes we had a few insadents including someone getting impaled in the arm. Fun, fun, ouch,fun. After many years of use we finally ran out of usable darts. Oh how much fun we had back in the good old days.
When I was living on a military base back in the early 1990s, we had found one. Never had issues with it, cause we understood the heavy metal tip would hurt. Point was dull, but still being hit would HURT. Nor did we even throw it towards another person.
@@ShadowWolf78336 how bout common sense or you know be the adult and know what you are buying your kid because last time i looked a 3 year old cant buy a toy
@@ShadowWolf78336 yes, you can easily prevent you're children from eating them by watching the. Unless they're a baby, they have the strength of 100 adults...
Aside from lawn-darts, the toy I remember being specifically Banned when I was little, in the 70s, was this toy that was just a cord with an acrylic ball on each end. I can't remember what it was called, but it was a Serious fad and most of us had one. You held the cord in the center and, FORCEFULLY, waived it up and down so the balls would knock together above and below your hand. Naturally, folks who didn't know their own Strength were SHATTERING the balls causing them to spray sharp fragments everywhere.
@@sirridesalot6652 Yeah, I wrote that before I watched the whole video--this and my early 70s Chemistry set were the 2 most dangerous toys I actually had. I actually remember them warning people on the News about the Clackers...
Oh these were fantastic! I would have loved the glass blowing one and that Magnectic one! When I was a kid we picked up a Dentist game (like Operation) from a jumble sale probably in the late 70s. It was a bit faulty and would screech horrifically without being touched 😮😂😂
7:36 You may have heard of KLACKERS in this segment; although they were recalled in the United States, in 2023, it became a popular toy in the Philippines, calling them "lato-lato", and they were basically the same toy except that the handles and balls were made of hard plastic. They however don't spare them from causing injuries, as they also shatter when it hits too hard, and injuries in the wrists and fingers were also reported. Some even use them as weapons (that's only according to opinion), and today, they were used less often, as if they were but another trend. Hope that info helped out.
Klackers as weapons is actually accurate. Klackers are simply bolas, a weapon meant to wrap around the legs of animals and cause them to trip. Bolas are a length of cord/rope/chain with a matching weight on each end. You twirl them kind of like a lasso and then throw them towards the feet of fleeing prey. We tripped each other all the time with Klackers.
You missed one that my sibling had an unfortunate misadventure with. Can’t remember the name, I just called it a popper. Rubber half sphere you flipped inside out, then set down on a flat surface, and it flipped itself rightside out, causing it to pop into the air. It was essentially a suction cup with a 2 inch diameter. My younger sister stuck it to her forehead, and decided to be a stubborn brat when I told her not to leave it on too long. 3 minutes of arguing later… And she was stuck with a 2 inch hickey on her forehead for a week of school. She was lucky. Those toys were recalled because kids were getting them stuck over their mouths and noses and suffocating. A new version with a vent hole has since been released. And I still have a pic of The Brat’s 1st hickey.
@@wildling_wolf "Klackers as weapons is actually accurate." Absolute nonsense! 😂Bolas were never meant to 'klack' toghether, and the cord length between the balls of Klackers would make them useless to be used as a weapon like that. 🤣 🤪
@@sunnyjim1355 Isn’t it great how your opinion in no way defines anyone else’s reality?!?! 🤪🤣😜 No one said they WERE weapons. They are SIMILAR to a style of weapon, and can be USED in the manner of said weapon, though with less accuracy and no where near the intended results. Think more, speak less 🤪
I missed these toys as a kid, most of my whole collection was recalled. I am still mad, ain't all kids fault some were stupid and didn't know how to properly play with certain toys. Blame the parents who knew they kids needed to be watch or idk get them toys that were appropriate for their brain function level. Sorry, like I said still mad.
Swing Wing was the original iPhone. I think the phone is 1000% worse! Kid's and adults have their face planted in the screen walking into doors, people, traffic, driving ------ I don't see them getting banned or modify so they won't work while In motion, they tried a block like this but it didn't work
I remember a toy my older brother had in the 1960's, A Wood burning kit. Probably a version of a soldering gun and I think Balsa wood to burn designs into
@@cassidythecat okay then riddle me this: why did kinder have to make a new version of the Kinder: surprise just for the USA? Apparently a food rule was put into place in the USA because children from the US aren't smart enough to spit out the toy capsule.... There are dozens of rules like this in the US for things which have almost, to never, had issues in other places. Is this overzealous Karens putting rules into place? then why haven't the Karens of other places done the same?
@@liamnehren1054 , literally no one has ever been injured or killed from eating a toy in a Kinder Egg (though kids around the world, like UK and France, aka not in the US, have choked on the small toy parts AFTER the egg was already eaten). The US is just way overly cautious with its rules. The law that affects the Kinder Egg wasn't even in place because of that specific treat. It is just a general law that non-food items cannot be sold inside of food. The Kinder Egg having to change is just what brought that law into most people's awareness. Meanwhile, governments in other countries (except Chile, which also has a law that effectively bans the Kinder Eggs) just don't care enough about the kids that die to go so overboard on rules.
Maybe because of the magnets are a choking hazard to the kids and shouldn’t fall out the toy so easily. And when multiple of them are consumed, it’s dangerous for a kid to eat.
Here to see if theres lunchly or mr beast toys here Edit: 13:45 not a science guy but sounds like acoustic fr i imagined a chemical with some strings lol
When I was 3 I wanted to get some water so I got up to my parent’s room to ask my mom to fill up my little water cup. Instead I ended up whamming my head on my toybox. Scrammed to my mother crying, and she took me to the hospital. This all happen at 3 in the morning.
I honestly got dizzy just _watching_ that 'Swing Wing' commercial footage. That can _not_ be good for one's head/neck. And OMG the ping-pong ball blowtorch is just hilarious in the absurdity that it was ever approved in the first place. The ways idiots tried to 'up the stakes' with the croc dentist game just proves how humans are more prone to finding a way to turn everything into (moronic) violence/destruction.
They were small samples, and natural ores, not pure metal. This means quite low radioactivity, and it's an Alpha emitter, so very safe there. ( Basically, as with most everything on the list, just don't eat it. ) It was actually plenty safe, and I would say pretty clear from the packaging it was aimed at later teenagers. You know, kids taking various chemistry classes and such, that can learn and understand some basic safety guidelines. In fact, as far as actual harm from radiation..as long as you don't ingest any of it, you yourself are probably worse ( thanks to the small amount of radioactive potassium, which can emit both Beta and Gamma radiation. )

Well I have a fun story, When I was a kid around the early 2000. My family had lawn darts , So when summer day my uncle kenny was On the house trying to improve the living situation for me and my Sister. So naturally we had the neighbor kids over cause it was a summer day and we wanted to play together. And mine one neighbor kid whom we will call.Shepherd decided it was a great idea to throw a lawn dart in the direction of Uncle kenny. Luckily it missed him but good Lord.He was sent home due to this shenanigans. So now whenever I hear of lawn darts. I think of that story.

The amount of toys that people can still have today that we are unaware having a possibility of being dangerous
In the 1970s my friends and I played tag...with lawn darts. Good, bloody times.
I fell like Be Amazed used to be a teacher or something 😅❤❤❤❤
Some of these toys are just common sense a lot of children don't have creators didn't have it either back then and some still don't today
love watching be amazed but his voice makes me sleepy🥲🫶
what I have ever learned:
school:10%
this guy: 90%
Agreed 😅👍🏻 😊
Crocodile Dentist. . . I swear that very unsafe version is basically a tiktok trend. Wonder how long before they end up on Darwin Awards.
Very Nice
You can still hear the anger from the previous video in his voice 😢
I have always been a bookworm and rarely played with toys, and after seeing these cursed toys, I'm support my choices.
Kids used to be smarter
Not necessarily. These toys took out the ones that weren’t smart. Natural selection at its finest.
Agreed
agreed
apparently
Wrong. Intelligence has always run the spectrum for 300,000 years.
Kids putting things in their mouths after 2 years old = Darwin Awards. Bring back these toys and help the human race.

Damn, 1963 was a VERY good year for toys. 🎃
Check out the Bucky Covington song: A Different World
Those chemist sets looks so bad ass.
I was a victim of the lawn darts....few stitches in the ol head.
Wasn't my worst lawn playing accident lol 😂😂
There's a... um... sleeve word placement issue at 7:59
💀💀💀
I saw that too 😂😂
Yeah me too 😅😅😅😅😅
Bro I can’t even keep up with this man 💀💀💀
7:54 whats that word on the kids tshirt?
Bass
Ass
Oh these were fantastic! I would have loved the glass blowing one and that Magnectic one! When I was a kid we picked up a Dentist game (like Operation) from a jumble sale probably in the late 70s. It was a bit faulty and would screech horrifically without being touched 😮😂😂
I still have my lawn darts
Do you play with them often?
I was going to say, "50's hell!!! We used to play lawn darts in the side yard until I was 11" and I was born in the 70s
@@MaleehSibaadh-dv2up not really, but seeing these dangerous vids makes me want to lol
@@Fiery9024 mine was at my gmas in the 80s
This is a master piece of your channel
Broken ribs from the sky dancer doll? How is that possible?
Oh my goodness, broken ribs from foam is so ridiculous
I'm assuming that would have to have been from a fall or something caused by getting hit and not directly from being hit by a foam toy.
It's probably from child abuse, and the abuser needed something to blame. Then there's the law suites by the unscrupulous.
7:36 You may have heard of KLACKERS in this segment; although they were recalled in the United States, in 2023, it became a popular toy in the Philippines, calling them "lato-lato", and they were basically the same toy except that the handles and balls were made of hard plastic. They however don't spare them from causing injuries, as they also shatter when it hits too hard, and injuries in the wrists and fingers were also reported. Some even use them as weapons (that's only according to opinion), and today, they were used less often, as if they were but another trend.
Hope that info helped out.
Yup
Klackers as weapons is actually accurate.
Klackers are simply bolas, a weapon meant to wrap around the legs of animals and cause them to trip.
Bolas are a length of cord/rope/chain with a matching weight on each end.
You twirl them kind of like a lasso and then throw them towards the feet of fleeing prey.
We tripped each other all the time with Klackers.
You missed one that my sibling had an unfortunate misadventure with.
Can’t remember the name, I just called it a popper.
Rubber half sphere you flipped inside out, then set down on a flat surface, and it flipped itself rightside out, causing it to pop into the air.
It was essentially a suction cup with a 2 inch diameter.
My younger sister stuck it to her forehead, and decided to be a stubborn brat when I told her not to leave it on too long.
3 minutes of arguing later…
And she was stuck with a 2 inch hickey on her forehead for a week of school.
She was lucky. Those toys were recalled because kids were getting them stuck over their mouths and noses and suffocating.
A new version with a vent hole has since been released.
And I still have a pic of The Brat’s 1st hickey.
@@wildling_wolf "Klackers as weapons is actually accurate." Absolute nonsense! 😂Bolas were never meant to 'klack' toghether, and the cord length between the balls of Klackers would make them useless to be used as a weapon like that. 🤣
🤪
@@sunnyjim1355
Isn’t it great how your opinion in no way defines anyone else’s reality?!?!
🤪🤣😜
No one said they WERE weapons.
They are SIMILAR to a style of weapon, and can be USED in the manner of said weapon, though with less accuracy and no where near the intended results.
Think more, speak less 🤪
I missed these toys as a kid, most of my whole collection was recalled. I am still mad, ain't all kids fault some were stupid and didn't know how to properly play with certain toys. Blame the parents who knew they kids needed to be watch or idk get them toys that were appropriate for their brain function level. Sorry, like I said still mad.
BE AMAZED: I'm a figetter, but I can't help it.
Me: Don't worry, I feel you man.
Swing Wing was the original iPhone. I think the phone is 1000% worse! Kid's and adults have their face planted in the screen walking into doors, people, traffic, driving ------ I don't see them getting banned or modify so they won't work while In motion, they tried a block like this but it didn't work
I remember a toy my older brother had in the 1960's, A Wood burning kit. Probably a version of a soldering gun and I think Balsa wood to burn designs into
Lawn darts….miss them so much! They flew great!

That magnet one... classic case of Unitedstatians being below average in the intelligence department.
I'm sure that kids in other parts of the world would do the same thing, not just in the United States
@@cassidythecat okay then riddle me this: why did kinder have to make a new version of the Kinder: surprise just for the USA?
Apparently a food rule was put into place in the USA because children from the US aren't smart enough to spit out the toy capsule....
There are dozens of rules like this in the US for things which have almost, to never, had issues in other places.
Is this overzealous Karens putting rules into place? then why haven't the Karens of other places done the same?
Going how easy it is to manipulate americas gullible arsholes in this country, you're not far off from that assessment.
@@liamnehren1054 , literally no one has ever been injured or killed from eating a toy in a Kinder Egg (though kids around the world, like UK and France, aka not in the US, have choked on the small toy parts AFTER the egg was already eaten). The US is just way overly cautious with its rules. The law that affects the Kinder Egg wasn't even in place because of that specific treat. It is just a general law that non-food items cannot be sold inside of food. The Kinder Egg having to change is just what brought that law into most people's awareness.
Meanwhile, governments in other countries (except Chile, which also has a law that effectively bans the Kinder Eggs) just don't care enough about the kids that die to go so overboard on rules.
the fact that people eat magnets, orbeez, and toy parts, then blame the product for it is insane
Maybe because of the magnets are a choking hazard to the kids and shouldn’t fall out the toy so easily. And when multiple of them are consumed, it’s dangerous for a kid to eat.
@@83TheSigma who said it was "so easy"
My sisters had an Easy Bake Oven, back in the 70's, and they never got hurt, but made delicious cakes.😋😋
Most of these toys sound great. I will have to look for them. Thanks for the reminder of all the great toys.

13:31 They are not lithium batteries, they are alkaline. Being only 1.5V, they are much less dangerous than 3V lithium cells.
When I was 3 I wanted to get some water so I got up to my parent’s room to ask my mom to fill up my little water cup. Instead I ended up whamming my head on my toybox. Scrammed to my mother crying, and she took me to the hospital. This all happen at 3 in the morning.
I honestly got dizzy just _watching_ that 'Swing Wing' commercial footage. That can _not_ be good for one's head/neck. And OMG the ping-pong ball blowtorch is just hilarious in the absurdity that it was ever approved in the first place. The ways idiots tried to 'up the stakes' with the croc dentist game just proves how humans are more prone to finding a way to turn everything into (moronic) violence/destruction.
Agreed
23:57 Uranium?! REALLY!? What's next? Learn how to make C-4? Dynamite!?!?
They were small samples, and natural ores, not pure metal. This means quite low radioactivity, and it's an Alpha emitter, so very safe there. ( Basically, as with most everything on the list, just don't eat it. ) It was actually plenty safe, and I would say pretty clear from the packaging it was aimed at later teenagers. You know, kids taking various chemistry classes and such, that can learn and understand some basic safety guidelines.
In fact, as far as actual harm from radiation..as long as you don't ingest any of it, you yourself are probably worse ( thanks to the small amount of radioactive potassium, which can emit both Beta and Gamma radiation. )

Did you know that klackers are still popular in the Philippines
Lato lato
This channel is awesome! 👍

Well I have a fun story, When I was a kid around the early 2000.
My family had lawn darts , So when summer day my uncle kenny was On the house trying to improve the living situation for me and my Sister. So naturally we had the neighbor kids over cause it was a summer day and we wanted to play together. And mine one neighbor kid whom we will call.Shepherd decided it was a great idea to throw a lawn dart in the direction of Uncle kenny. Luckily it missed him but good Lord.He was sent home due to this shenanigans. So now whenever I hear of lawn darts. I think of that story.
This guy is the best he would be a good teacher
Some these toys show how stupid kids really are
😂😂😂
It shows how stupid the inventors are
The kids? No the inventors
It's the kids our civilization gets dumber and dumber every generation there's no doubt about it and the previous dumb ones are now having dam near braindead kids that act like they don't know anybetter or possess a lick of common sense like their parents only worse u can say it's the inventors but it's not some these mfen kids need get the Darwin awards that's why my stupid ass don't have no dam kids

The KLACKERS were named "KANOCKERS" in south Texas and were just as dangerous
I had these big plastic ones, and metal ones too.
"The name's Kanockers....Vod Kanockers."😁
@@balok1546 The metals ones made fantastic bolos if you put a longer very strong cord on them. The Argentine Gauchos used them.
You can see some utterly amazing footage of Argentine Gauchos using bolos in dance and real life in videos here on UA-cam.
I played with Jarts(lawn darts) as a kid. I came out unscathed 🤣 Seriously though, even as a kid I knew those things were dangerous as heck.
I didn’t even saw that this new 😅
