So I'm pretty sure we've all seen something that's supposed to be for kids, like a toy but is just so creepy or stange that it should be boiled slowly in coffin. This thread is about discussing strange things you've seen that are for kids.

So I'm at a McDonald's and I see a kid with a Happy Meal box that looks like this:

I feel like it's staring into my soul. Why is McDonald's trying so hard to scare their future customers?

I want to say something about the Play-doh toy that looked a lot like a....an object that some people use in...intimate situations, but I'm not going to push the PG13 boundary.

Also, I have no idea, and that thing should be killed pls./

They're probably trying to make their Happy Meal even happier, but they've missed.

You guys want to see a toy made for children that was banned?

It's called the Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab and was sold during the 1950s. Why is it banned you ask? Well there was a fear that children could ingest actual uranium and alpha & beta particles.

Why? Why do people think it's a good idea to have a lab with actual radiation?

I can't find the video anywhere, but have any of you guys seen the video of the woman who bought her daughter a toy which was like, a wand, and when she got it she peeled back one of the stickers on the side and under it was a picture of a child cutting herself? Something like that, anyway.

Although it's not the video R3LOAD was mentioning, I found these videos on Youtube by a Channel called "Wacky Wednesday" that has a few videos about strange kids toys

There was this weird set for kids about carving and burning images on wood that came in 2 editions. Here is the first:

It contained a very sharp saw and 2.5 cm Nails!

The second edition (Wood Burning) contained an electric tool whose tip could reach a temperature of 600 degrees Celsius!

Because the parents would be like:

"Jimmy don't climb up the tree! You are going to get hurt! Why don't you come inside to play with the heating tool and the saw?"
