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.

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.

Great vid!😁

I had clackers- not the glass one, but the plastic one

11:50 *there’s a reason oven gloves exist.*

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.

This video makes me feel old. Thanks. lol

3:57 I remember the moon shoes I used to have them I think I still do! I like them, because it made me tall! When I was little.

Wow, I had 5 of those toys. Gotta love being a kid in both the 80s AND the 90s!

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.

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.

17:06 I used to love those magnet things when I was little! I still have them!

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 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.

This reminds me of the classic SNL skit with Dan Aykroyd: "Big bag of broken glass"

I remember around 2005-7ish my brother got some moon boots for christmas, fun as heck

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.

I remember weaponizing Sky Dancers 😂 god, that toy was awesome 😂

Gilbert also had a very dangerous chemistry set too 😂

Those moon shoes still look fun

13:15 just W H Y

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

I had some skydancers! I didn't know about the cartoon until years later.

I remember magnetixs & I owned Lincoln logs I miss those

10:01 bro committed suicide…

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 see three main problems with many of these. 1. Toxic ingredient(s) 2. Small parts 3. Unsafe temperatures

“Nothing says playtime like some shrapnel, right?” LOL

Banned but you can still get it huh.

Polly Pockets have actually been revived in a different sense now.

Oh, I definitely remember the slip and slide

I had clackers and i broke a glass…

Maybe I’m strange but I really love learning about banned toys 😆

14:34 - Actually, I got that for Christmas years ago.

I even mess, tinker toys one of my cousins, and I love playing with tinker toys and Lincoln logs

Oh my God my cousin had the skydancer toys, we loved flinging those into the air.

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 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.

The Robin Williams flubber was a remake of a Jerry Lewis movie

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.

2:00 our school sells those bands during some holidays

0:49:latto latto

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 actually remember csi and wondered what it would be like to have one glad I didn't

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.

13:50 “With less than 5000 kids being sold” Is this a mistake?

Magnetix I still have those

lato lato man to sa second toy

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.

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.

The good ole sixties. Steel wheeled skateboards, chemistry sets. I'm surprised that I survived.

The baby shark Doo doo doo doo reference in the beginning got me😂😂😂

7:24 that's absolutely horrifying. That no doubt left some kids with serious trauma lol

13:39 People: Yeah this is a *good idea!* Let’s make *toys* out of the stuff they use for *nuclear weapons!*

I used a water ball yoyo in the 90s as a pokeball!

18:27 My big brother and a few friends even shot diabolos under each other's skin, and one of his friends still has it in his arm!

It's crazy how these companies take the heat for negligent parents. Obviously some are just not OK like the GHB beads lol

I had the creepy crawlers, loved those things, got burned a time or two but that never stopped me from playing with it.

actually those clackers are actually popular in Indonesia in Indonesia they're called "Latto - latto" and made out of clay I just thought you might need to know this

I remember having the GI JOE Thing Maker similar to the Creepy Crawler one. and what about the 1950ish train sets with electric transformers

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 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.

When i was a kid i had one of the water wiggle toys.

"Our accelerator's stuck" Power Rangers: 😐 Toyota: 👁👄👁

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

Slip and Slide: Not for use by adults Adults: I see…immediately puts oil on it instead of water to slide faster

that clackers literally become BIG hits in my country every single kids and in every corner of this country, you can hear clackers played by those kids, even adult that force me to wear earphone anytime and everywhere very annoying

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."

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.

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.

I had an Easy Bake oven when I was a kid, but I knew how to use it safely

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.

Every toy is dangerous when eaten. Kind of unfair the magnetic ones and those.

Great work on the video I still don't know how you have time for all this research keep it up

Anyone else thinking of Lawn Darts?

This is the feeling of giving kids literal industrial machines

Actually I felt sorry for many company. It wasnt seems harmless but still getting banned. especially pokemon have experienced this a lot lol.

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.

Greatest invention ever created & most lethal device in a toddlers hands. The ball bearing.

At age 66, I actually had a few of these toys. I was surprised to see Jarts lawn darts didn't make the list. The pointy metal tips on those were pretty dangerous.

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.

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 feel like some of these toy makers hate children.

Rip the little kids

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.

Major props to whoever does the research for Infographics videos

I watched a set of those plastic Clackers shatter, around 1970. Not aware of them ever being made of tempered glass.

i remember my parents buying me a Creepy Crawlers machine. Nothing like melting chemicals in your room with a lightbulb as kid lol

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.

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.

@15:40 I hate heists...

My sister had a easy bake oven

I remember Moon Shoes. Also I never had an official slip and slide. My family simply used a nylon tarp covered in soap.

Lol slap bracelets. Nostalgia This entire episode brings me back to childhood. I had moon shoes too

You fail to point out that flubber was created in the 1960's because of the original Flubber movie, "The Absent-Minded Professor." That's why flubber was on the market in the '60's, in case anyone was wondering. Flubber with Robin Williams was a remake.

I had dragon flies toy+ vhs

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.

I Love how much effort and writing he puts on his videos 🙂☺🐶🐱

Does clackers is called lato lato

I like the artstyle of infographics show and his random cartoony artstyles tho :D
