This is SO helpful! I’m incredibly grateful for the Keenan’s Kids Foundation’s hard work to find these dangerous toys! I know they will stay off my Christmas list. Thanks Keenan’s Kids!

8. Elmo’s World: Talking Cell Phone $9.99 by Fisher-Price Ages 18+ months Purchased at Toys R Us HAZARD: Potentially dangerous levels of noise.

Ok, but in all fairness children 18+ months should come with the same ‘hazard’ warning

i’m surprised that anyone would be allowed to sell a cosmetic that had dangerous chemicals in it, especially to children.

This is way out of line. Snoopy would NEVER strangle anyone :(

Snoopy is probably strangling the 18+ kids before they reach the dangerous noise level.

Go figure that this guy is a lawyer. Maybe all the toys should have DO NOT EAT OR PLAY, STAY IN BED ALL DAY on them.

I’m all for knowing potentially dangerous toys, but lil snoopy? A pull toy? Those have been around for years! I had one as a child and I’m still around!

Next year I’m sure it will be Easy Bake oven… The light bulb on the inside can shatter at any given time and fall into the gross cake and then cut up your insides!

Some of you are being outright stupid. This report is done to protect our children (and in my case, grandchildren)! Be thankful that these reports are being done for you at no expense!

As the President of Mainway Toys, Inc. let me say I’m grateful my collection of toys did not make this list. Classics such as: Pretty Peggy Ear-Piercing Set, Mr. Skin-Grafter, General Tron’s Secret Police Confession Kit, Doggie Dentist and Johnny Switchblade need to be left for all the kiddies to enjoy.

I can see their point, but at the same time this list is utterly ridiculous. I’m sure one could find something dangerous about every toy on the market if they look hard enough. Does that mean that all toys should be banned?

It is amazing that any of today’s adults make it to adulthood. Why is it that we now look to “Foundations” to do our parenting for us. Get a grip and pay attention to what your children are doing.

I have just one (1) question regarding all of this: Why are these toys only dangerous at Christmas-time?

I agree with Albert, Toys are hereby declared illegal, immoral, unlawful AND anyone found with a toy in his possession will be placed under arrest and thrown in the dungeon. No kidding!

You mustn’t mind the tree monsters. Their bark is worse than their bite. Ha ha ha ha!

“Potential” is not the same thing as “is.” How does anyone ever make it to age eight? We are turning a bunch of sycophantic spoiled parents into nervous, annoying caretakers who will create sociopathic, mindlessly automatic, scared and scary children. Hey, Grandma, you probably think you’re appreciated. They actually hide from you.

Capt hit the nail on the head (oh wait that could be dangerous but I digress), parents have to actually watch their kids! I have 3 brothers and 2 boys of my own, and I’m a cop so I see a lot, in my experience it is a miracle that any boy lives to adult-hood. Maybe we should require invisible fences with shock collars (like we do for dogs) to prevent children from running into the roadway and being hit by a car.

oh, please spare me. Better get rid of bicycles too, and roller skates, skateboards - and while we’re at it, those vienna sausages - kids could CHOKE on those…

Most of the comments seem to be saying that if it hasn’t happened to anyone they know, it didn’t happen.

Usually such accidents don’t even get reported until several children have been injured or have died from toys and other children’s products.

Hey, that Easy Bake oven has already been recalled, and good riddance. Besides pinching little fingers the Easy Bake food is loaded with trans fats. Fortunately, the cakes taste so bad that even kids won’t eat much. Not a bad deal, she plays with it for a while then it’s recalled and I get a credit to buy something else. Keep checking recall lists, you never know what old stuff they will PAY you to return.

Like… I have had Heelys for a long time and havent hurt myself once,:) Also, more than half of the 1,000,000 people who have Heelys use them wrong, and they are the ones who get hurt, and I am not one of those tards.

In today’s world there is nothing safe to do, eat, or play with. I think we should stay in our homes and lock the doors.(Now there is a fun way to live.) I think everyone should lighten up and live their life to the fullest. Oh and yes, Bold: watch your kids if you are worried about what they are doing and putting in their mouths

If you wanna know what funny, i have never seen Legos recalled and there is no telling how many kids have swallowed those things, or how many parents have stepped on or skated across the floor on them. Acording to this list, its a miricle that any of us made it to be adults. Back in our childhoods our parents didnt worry about lead paint, small magnets reconnecting in our intestines or any of these dumb things. I am certain my parents told me a few times to go play in the street, they didnt worry too much about if my bike had lead paint or if i was gonna go strangle myself with the cord on my pull toy. I personally probably ate more lead paint as a kid then any child today would ever be exposed to, i chewed on everything, and here i am, amazing huh? i am still living and breathing and doing well. Dont get me wrong i am glad this list is available, but lets not get all nuts here, kids will be kids, and if we shield them from everything, they will never be able to think for themselves as adults.
