Dangerous Christmas Toys - 2005

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Consumer groups usually keep a watchful eye for dangerous toys but some actually slip by even the most discerning “watchdogs” of our children’s safety.
Here’s a link to the Dangerous Toys of 2004:

Among others you will find:
**Mengele Company’s Real Nazi Doctor Kit
My First Lockpicking Book - Includes chapters on medicine cabinets, gunsafes and trigger locks
Mr Bubble’s “Rock and Roll Bath Time Electric Guitar” (includes 200 watt amplifier !!!)
**

Still, new and dangerous toys continue to be manufactured and it is up to the folks at the SDMB to warn others about these potentially pernicious playthings. So far, for 2005 I have found the following on toy shelves:
**• Isadora Duncan’s Scarf of Mischief
• The Jimi Hendrix Flaming Guitar (comes with a generous supply of lighter fluid)
• Amana Refrigerator’s Secret Hiding Place (fastens securely from the inside) - great for avoiding parents when they have chores for you. Become the neighborhood ‘hide and go seek’ champion. Get listed on the Missing Persons report !!!
• Hasbro’s “Mr H-Bomb Head”
• Ajax Cleanser’s “Let’s Make A Milkshake”
**

Those are some of the dangerous toys for 2005 but there must be more. What have you folks discovered ?
