Dangerous Toys List is Out for 2006
Adventure Dad posted over at the Blogfathers a list of the most dangerous toys for 2006. A Bow and Arrow set was among the few. Well if you want to get caught up on this list prior to the holiday season go take a look.
Are these the most potentially dangerous? Or are they really causing problems?
This is what it says about the bow and arrow set:
Price: $6.50
Manufacturer or Distributor: Parris Manufacturing Company, Savannah, TN 38372
Age Recommendation: “FOR AGES 6+”
Warnings: “Recommended for target shooting only. For ages 6 and over with adult supervision”, and other warnings.
HAZARD: POTENTIAL FOR EYE OR OTHER SEVERE INJURIES!W.A.T.C.H. OUT! ! This bow and arrow set includes rubber-tipped “arrows” made of solid wood. The tips, however, are removable, and the rigid, wooden shafts can be propelled with sufficient velocity to potentially cause severe injuries. Weaponry should not be sold as toys for children.
That sounds like political BS to me. “Weaponry should not be sold to kids”. These are just a bunch of leftist pinko-commies who fried their brains of pot during the Vietnam era. The most dangerous thing you can give your kid is a ride in the car. More people are killed in car accidents each year than violent crime or toy accidents combined.
