Ah Jarts, the name of a particularly dangerous lawn dart set, otherwise known as those flying rods with fins and a really sharp, pointy end that wound up going through a bunch of people instead of the intended lawns!! Let's give our kids mini javelins to throw at each other. What could possibly go wrong?

Have you also heard of the Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab? It was a lab kit sold to kids in 1950-51. The concept was to educate kids about Atomic Energy and whatnot, seeing as it was the era of Atomic weapons testing and the beginning of the Cold War and all. However, since it came with actual samples of highly radioactive Uranium, it was obviously not at all an appropriate toy.

Speaking of recalled toys, I have managed to keep my hands on a nearly MIB Cabbage Patch Snack Time Kid. My mother went out and bought it right after she heard of the recall, thinking they would be vary valuable someday. Don't know what to do with it now as I can't legally sell it.
