In this podcast episode we dive into the world of dangerous toys. 

In the early days of mass produced toys, manufacturers would design toys to open a kid's mind, maybe let them pretend to be an adult, or release their creative juices, but safety- that was one thing many of the early toys didn't really think about.  From 600 degree F toy ovens to melting lead or creating explosions- these toys could change a fun day of playing to an emergency trip to the hospital.

Journey through our list of dangerous toys- this way you too can wonder how did any kid survive the 1950s, or the 1960s, or 1970s, etc.  BTW- this episode went a little long because we had a lot of toys to cover.
