My grandson wanted me to buy him this hand thing on a recent trip to target. I said no! He ended up getting it as a birthday gift from another little boy...ugh!

borderfox116 OMG I can’t read all their foolishness Toughen up quit making kids soft. I had pocket knives, BB guns rode a bike with no helment or chain guard and a thousand other things that parents today would pee their pants over. Stop ruining childhood

*quietly finds receipt for burlap sack of rusty nails I just purchased at a discount*

More like MOST AWESOME TOYS, amirite?

The best part? This statement where they try to say parents *shouldn’t* be responsible for their kids. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Ho, ho, ho!

Making this list usually means a big seller come Christmas time.

This year I'm buying ninja stars for everyone.

Right... you might shoot out your eye... or claw it out!!! Toughen the little buggers up or they'll fail in the adult world!!! Make sure they never leave the western countries... a young Middle Eastern or SE Asian, of African girl will make them cry!!!

A safety group that does not actually test the toys themselves, says a few toys that look threatening are dangerous. Give me a group that does the actually testing and I'll consider it. This is crap.

Claws are probably always a bad idea, no matter the season.

All those toys look fucking awesome! There's always one lightweight kid that ruins it for everybody!

What? It's a back-scratcher.

I survived (as did my very lucky sister)Click Clack toy!

any of these made by Irwin Mainway?

WE need toy control, not gun control.

Now I absolutely gotta get this Hasbro’s retractable plastic claws for Marvel’s Black Panther! Whooooo cool AND deemed dangerous. Niiiice.

What could POSSIBLY GO WRONG with Freddy Krueger mechanical hands? Come on!

Next: Pillows are dangerous gifts bc you can smother someone with it. Scarfs are dangerous bc you can get tangled in them & accidentally strangle yourself.

“Trial lawyer”—you mean a person who files suits against corporations to save kids from dying?

🎶🎵It’s Log... Loogggg!!

Lawn Darts are better.

Men are weak if they never learn to survive as children.

Who remembers Jarts?

I'll take a half dozen of each

I nearly blew my eyes out with a chemistry set. I say let 'em play. What could go wrong?

Pearl clutching busybodies.

I survived a wood burning kit AND lawn darts!

They should hire Dan Akroyd for their promotional materials

Did Bag O'Glass™ make the list?

Did Bag O Glass make the list. Dan Akroyd.

Could be worse...

This group should be called S.P.R.K.F. (Shitty Parents Ruining Kids Fun)

YES!! These 'toys' SUCK!

UPDATE: Boston Scientific buys remaining shares in privately held Millipede to expand its heart portfolioBoston Scientific Corp. said Thursday it has exercised an option to acquire the remaining shares of privately held Millipede Inc. in a move aimed at expanding its heart portfolio. The deal will give the company the IRIS Transcatheter Annuloplasty Ring System which is in development for the treatment of patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) who are not able to tolerate open-heart surgery. Mitral regurgitation is a condition in which a leaky valve does not close the way it should, allowing some blood to flow backward into the left atrium, according to the Mayo Clinic. Left untreated, the disorder can cause heart failure or arrhythmia, according to the clinic. The market for mitral repair and replacement is expected to reach $1 billion by 2021. Boston Scientific originally invested in Millipede by purchasing $90 million of existing and new shares with the option to acquire the rest for $325 million at closing with a $125 million milestone payment due upon reaching certain commercial goals. "Upon commercialization, we believe the IRIS system can meet the needs of a currently underserved patient population that requires physiological, less invasive options to treat functional mitral regurgitation in patients with progressive heart failure," said Professor Ian Meredith, AM, executive vice president and global chief medical officer, Boston Scientific. Millipede has recently completed a first-in-human clinical study. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter and to be dilutive to adjusted per-share earnings for each of the next several years, with the impact expected to be absorbed by internal trade-offs. Boston Scientific shares fell 1.7% premarket but have gained 35.9% in 2018, while the S&P 500 has fallen 7.7%.
