10 Worst / Dangerous Toys for 2014 – Here’s Your Sledgehammer Johnny
The World Against Toys Causing Harm has come out with their 2014 list of dangerous toys! Some of these are crazy!
W.A.T.C.H. has been doing this list for about 30 years and the hazards tend to be the same: small, detachable parts that infants can choke on; strings that can cause strangulation; dangerous projectiles; and misleading or confusing warning labels and instructions.
This years toys include a bow that shoots lit up arrows up to '145 feet', a 'Bottle Rocket Party', a pencil that is also a sling shot and a sledgehammer! Wow.
