Re: 10 most dangerous toys
Brilliant 
"it was only a matter of time before some cherub's long blonde hair got caught in the doll's rabid jaws" 
[edit] I'm still reading - it just gets better. "And nothing says fun like using that open hot plate to create molten, rubbery insects you can throw at your sister while narrowly avoiding setting the house ablaze" It makes you wonder about the designers - trying to keep the population down, possibly.

Re: 10 most dangerous toys
My daughter had the "Skydancer" toy in the mid-90's - it was cool, and taught her quick reactions.

or a mere $49.50, the kit came complete with three "very low-level" radioactive sources, a Geiger-Mueller radiation counter, a Wilson Cloud Chamber (to see paths of alpha particles), a Spinthariscope (to see "live" radioactive disintegration), four samples of Uranium-bearing ores, and an Electroscope to measure radioactivity.

As did my sister, she had 2 or 3 of them, they were fun to try and catch, never got injured by them though

But six years later, the Sky Dancer was grounded. When spun aloft, the wings—which felt so soft and cushy in the aisles of Toys "R" Us—turned into steely-hard child manglers. In 2000, the CPSC announced that over 150 children fell prey to Sky Dancer's helicopter-blade arms and erratic "Oh-Jesus-it's-chasing-me!" flying patterns. Injuries included scratched corneas and temporary blindness, mild concussions, broken ribs and teeth, and facial lacerations that required stitches. Nearly nine million Sky Dancers were eventually recalled, leaving aspiring ballerinas to earn their battle scars the old fashioned way, with an eating disorder.
