Of all the things that it should be impossible to hurt yourself on, kids' toys should be the #1 item on the list. And yet, there have been COUNTLESS playthings that were created, marketed and sold to kids that have had the potential —and sometimes even the sad result — of causing harm to children who were just trying to amuse themselves. And we're not just talking about toys with sharp edges, projectiles, or parts that were choking hazards. We're referring to molten lead smelters. Model ovens that could deliver second-degree burns. Innocent-looking dolls whose rictus grins remained fixed even as they gnawed off your hair. And even science kits with ACTUAL RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL. It's a wonder any of us survived. Join Saint and Jim as they deep-dive into these deadly toys, plus — all the news that's fit to nerd.
