Some are ok with adult supervision, some not so much. Uranium in a kit? Admittedly, there was not much, but given what we know now about radioactivity.... that was dumb.

Dive sticks are still around, but maybe the design changed? They are used in lots of swimming lessons and my kids have them and try to get them from the bottom of the pool at our local pool.

None of the above. The worst toy ever is a drum set. It makes the PARENTS go insane, which is precisely why I got one for my little nephew for his birthday two months ago. Muah hahahahaha

The chemistry set that I received for Xmas in 3rd grade included a tube of sodium cyanide solution. I managed to avoid drinking it.

Only 3 deaths over an 18 year period? How could an infant even throw a Jart? Anyway, we had those and they were a ball!

More fun than those dangerously hard and heavy horse shoes

Wish I could find a set now.

Yes, the list was hard to read.

Yes, the barbie doll that is being talked about is *bullfighting barbie.* Of course, the doll is now a collectors item and sells for a good bit of money.

Croquet mallets were a blast too, though we hardly ever used them for croquet.
