I hate these lists. I owned original Battlestar Galactica missile firing toys. I'm still alive. Any kid could find a way for any toy to be dangerous given enough time.

Seems like the sort of toy you wouldn't buy for a toddler.

The ear tips are rather hard, which explains where all the hard plastic for JLU figures went.

These are AWESOME! I love Nerf guns. I got one for me after I gave my son one for Christmas last year. These are so much fun. They could use a longer ammo belt though because it shoots them so fast. |

My personal favorite banned toys:  Garden Darts! So, here's the deal, you get this big ass heavy darts and throw them up in the air, they have a very sharp metal head that will stick to the ground, or your cousin, and nobody will press charges. Little known fact: They also work great indoors. |

All the new safety rules are also why the TF fans didn't get a reissue of Fortress Maximus in the US for the RiD line.
It didn't pass the new safety 'drop tests'.
In case you don't know, Fortress Maximus is almost 2 feet talk and weights probably about 6-7 pounds in robot mode.
WHY would you be picking such a toy up in the first place and two if you paid almost a hundred bucks for it why would you let if get dropped in the first place??
Protecting kids is cool, but the things bigger than most of the children who'd play with him!

It only takes one child or irresponsible parent and that's blown it for the rest of us. What about a combo of Fortress Maximus and Garden Darts?  |

When our son was born 13 years ago we read up on baby safety and such. One of the things mentioned was not to hang toys from a line over the playpen as it could be a choking hazard. Years later I was scanning old family pictures and slides into my PC and there was a picture of me as a baby (47 years ago) in a playpen with... (wait for it) ... a line strung across the top with toys clipped on it with clothespins. I’m not sure how I survived.  |
