• 00:00:00 The Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab was designed to help children learn how to make nuclear weapons, but it has been recalled for containing asbestos. There was also a toy called the Swing Wing, which consisted of a rope with weighted balls attached to it that swung around a child's neck. This toy was eventually pulled from shelves after many children suffered cerebral hemorrhages and neck injuries.

However, the law does not stop the end user from modifying the weapon so today, the Johnny 7 one-man Army would be illegal unless they painted the muzzle orange. Additionally, the snack time Cabbage Patch Kids with moving mouths were deemed too dangerous and were voluntarily recalled in 1995.
