hi
Hi

I miss shitty 99 cent stores where you could get random off the wall toys like the evil stick
I always bought those teeny tiny little tea sets.
I almost miss being a child and dirt poor.
We still have those here in Brazil, thankfully
Complete with bootleg Ben 10 backpacks and chinese Avengers toys
@@Sorrelhasthey're fading out in the US. Local cheap shops close and a corporate ones with boring stuff is built, like Dollar Tree, which has locations all over the country
Those stores still exist. It just costs $1.25 now.
At a dollar store in my city, a toy was removed from the shelves because young boys used it to masturbate. It was a liquid filled toy shaped like a sea cucmber.
My son is now 30 and still has all of his Burger King Pokémon toys. If I recall correctly there was an age restriction on the product. Why would you allow an infant to play with a toy not meant for their age group? Its a shame children passed away because of a toy and parent negligence. Just my opinion.
It is same shit with kinder egg, got banned in for no reason
The toys aren’t dangerous it’s the containers
@@MarkoLomovic this isn't true, if you're talking about the US that is. Kinder eggs were never legal in the US due to a 1938 rule the FDA made about non edible items embedded with food. The first kinder egg was made in 1974. Kinder eggs weren't banned or recalled in the US, because they never were allowed in the first place
Edit: the one on the US shelves now are called Kinder Joy eggs, and are technically a different product all together to comply with the FDA
That was my first thought. Why would you leave your child unattended with a toy like that?
@@ajj4515 Are the Kinder Eggs sold under a different name in the US because I can walk into any Walmart in my area and buy Kinder Eggs today. The toy is in one half of the egg and the candy is in the other half. They have the name Kinder on the packaging. Just curious if there is some type of loophole that allows them to be sold.
Strangely enough, the cackling in the evilstick is the same cackling effect in a decorative haunted house I‘ve had for an awful long time
That same laugh is used in so many cheap halloween decorations and toys.
Here in asia that sound effect has been in use for years in so many halloween decors. Im surprised that was a such a big deal.
@@vinxcxcxcxc6354 it was probably a big deal since the toy was labeled as a cute little magical wand for mainly young girls to play with, and maybe the disturbing imagery + the cackling together probably scarred some young children
@@MosoBubbles"the item called EVILstick has scary and evil aspects to it, how misleading"
@@death299 I know that, but do parents know? Probably not. “The anime character on the package might be from a show that has a evil stick and it’s just the name” is what some parents might think if they acknowledge the character at all, and kids in the intended age group obviously aren’t gonna know anything suspicious about it, they just see it as the cool little toy mommy/daddy got them
I've seen quite a few videos like this one, listing toys that ended up harming children. And as strange as some of these toys are, let's be honest here :
Somehow, little children just seem to find ways to hurt or even kill themselves with literally anything they can possibly get their hands on. A toy is relatively small/has even just one small part hidden deep inside? They'll somehow find it, swallow it and choke. A toy has a singular slightly harder or pointy part? They'll cut or stab themselves with it. A toy has a concave/bowl shaped part? They'll somehow seal their airways with it and suffocate. I've even heard of cases where toddlers managed to get injured or die because of plush toys, because they somehow managed to extract one of the eyes and swallow them, or step on the plush and slip/stumble, causing them to get injured that way.
Kids have a death wish
THE BURGER KING PUT AD
Kids suffer from a thing called (skill)iosis (issue)itus
So basically if i ever get kids always supervise them with any toy until they are at an age where they can understand not to harm themselves with toys got it
Natural Selection
Moral of the story: don't assume small children are at all competent enough to not choke and suffocate on small objects.
Parenting kids that age seems to be mostly keeping them from accidentally unaliving themselves. And then soothing their tantrums because you kept them from doing it.
@@CatMom-uw9jlIt’s hilarious that you have to console children because they think it’s mean to keep them from hurting themselves
The real moral of the story is to not assume that parents will read the "not for children under this age" label on the box
lol@@omega97hyper24
@@thesnailaleNah kids that small, don’t have a sense for danger you have to manage want you allow to hurt them. That’s how you learn limits. I used to put my hand in mouse traps as a kid after the third attempt I stopped doing that.
Creating products for children must be an absolute nightmare considering kids often seem like they're actively trying to find the oddest ways to end their lives.
LITERALLY. i have a younger sister who nearly tried to swallow an entire lego duplo block when she was 3 😭
@@pixeldrawsThey’re literally designed in such a way that kids literally can’t consume them, I swear little kids are so suicidal
@mxsxmxsx8150 how tf did he even break the glass to be able to swallow it?
Facts! I co own and run a daycare and while we are scrupulous about what toys we have it blows my mind what these kids will put in their mouth and also create dangerous scenarios with different toys. I hover like crazy over the kids because I never know what they will do. Drives me crazy lol
@@pixeldraws HOW? the point of duplo is that idiot kids can't get them lodged in their windpipe?
We still have several poke balls in our house that have been passed down to our own kids. I have to agree with BK's initial response, the "design flaw" was nothing that isn't an inherent part of any toy cup or bowl for any child's kitchen playset. We did keep an eye on our infants pretty much non-stop, but....yeah thats kind of what your job is anyway when you become a parent
What annoys me is that MOST of these so called "Dangerous" Toys are only Dangerous because the Kids had Inattentive Parents who didnt bother to practice BASIC Safety Measures with their kids.
Like its one thing if the item is straight up defective and was cheaply made by companies trying to cut corners that cause recalls.
But when the item is deemed safe and the kids get hurt because the parent didnt bother to be attentive or because the child does something dumb with the item thats not its intended use its annoying that Everyone has to suffer because of a few people who are irresponsible.
How were the parents suppose to know that the evil stick was suppose to not be for kids when it was in the kids section & not only that it was literally intended for kids .
That's why he said MOST
@@Vanillattte I don't think they meant the evil stick.
i’m glad so many people recognize that parental error is to blame for the BK pokéball deaths. kids that young aren’t supposed to play with those toys supervised, let alone left unattended with them. like you’re not even supposed to put ANYTHING in a crib with a child
I think it has a lot to do with people being more aware of how dumb all of this stuff sounds. Same with the Beavis and Butthead episode that supposedly inspired a kid to burn down his house. The fact that the studio even took that seriously in the first place is sad as hell.
@@frocoshake2107 Completely agree! That kid didn't just have her fidget spinner bit jump out and into her mouth, no, she clearly put the thing in her mouth on purpose, like, she was old enough to understand about small parts but hey, it's always survival of the smart in this world!
Do all of you people blaming the parents not think that the parents feel horrendous guilt and regret every day? Put yourself in their shoes.
@@hannahp1108id feel regret for basically indirectly doing that to my child.Thats why its called child neglect instead of lets blame it on the item that the kid was found with.Nah it is their fault and i feel sad about what happened to the children due to the negligence of the adults
@@hannahp1108 Then they should take responsibility.
That Pokemon story always infuriates me. The parents should be held responsible for child neglect, and not leave their babies unattended with small objects.
Toys like that were never meant for literal BABIES.
True
I know, right! The same thing applies with Kinder Eggs. It is SO idiotic!
Yes. Never leave kids of ANY age unattended with toys.
@@zephyrwlf still DONT LET YOUR BABY SLEEP WITH THEIR TOYS
Buying a child a toy named “Evilstick” then being mad after the toy does an evil thing is hilarious
I remember having experienced a bad case of suffocation when I lodged an Easter egg into my mouth and couldn’t pull it out. I was 3 at the time. Don’t know how I know I was 3, but I vaguely remember hearing the emphasis. I have terribly allergies during the Easter season, so nose breathing wasn’t an option for me.
My point: kids will always find a way to make toys dangerous. Always have holes in certain plastics like pokeballs, Lego heads, and pen caps. Make sure magnet toys are not overpowerful. And never use poisonous chemicals in your toys even if it’s poisonous only when swallowed. Kids will put things in their mouths and not think. Kids are curious by nature.
Whilst my heart goes out to the parents of the kid victims of the BK Pokeball scandal, why TF would you let your infant/toddler have a toy like that in their crib????? Like dude, wtaf is going on in their heads that is just irresponsible. It's not BK's fault if parental negligence plays the major factor
If you look at the details The toys weren't even marked for children minus the age of three, you WHERE LITERALLY NOT SUPPOSED TO GIVE THAT TO YOUR BABY.
I think you meant to say "what" instead of "wfat"
yeah because everyone knows that a baby would make an air tight seal and suffocate the baby
@@bitingsky7677any parent knows you look at the age on a toy before you give it to someone under 3
@@sierrarose1512 wtaf = what the actual fuck
As someone who got a lot of weird dollar store toys as a kid, the evil stick is funny as hell. I’m imagining all the weird trailer park kids who picked them off the shelves on purpose so they can play witch
I was actually killed in a hoverboard fire

No but the evilstick is the most hillarious thing to ever exist, it seems like something id get my friends as a joke gift.
22:53 they do deserve something. Time in prison especially the ones who let their kids play with this alone post recall. Its pretty common knowledge that babies cant be left alone for prolonged periods of time, and especially not with toys. These weren't toys designed for babies, and its a miscarriage of justice that anyone got money out of this in the first place.
Now you’re just being ridiculous.
@uniquemya6928 they acted in negligence causing death.
They were negligent and caused death@@uniquemya6928
One thing I'd like to note about the woman using the Ring camera to monitor her kids is that while it seems a bit weird and kind of overkill, one of her daughters is epileptic so the use of the camera was meant as a legit safety precaution rather than just an excessive form of a baby monitor.
Just figured I'd clear that up since people tend to inevitably comment to the effect of "why would you put a ring camera in your kids room?!" whenever that story is brought up.
Yeah, I get it's weird but you can't be there all the time.
@@Roadent1241As someone with epilepsy as well, I guess I empathize a bit with it.
I went undiagnosed for 2 years after having my first seizure because I was home alone at the time, so nobody really knew what happened. Just thought I fell off the bed and broke my nose in the process.
Honestly as long as she doesn’t keep it to spy on her kid when it’s older, I think it’s fine. Keeping an eye on your baby is always a good idea.
In that case i think its fine even if she didnt have epilepsy she is still kinda young and might need someone to see what she is doing, what i think is wrong if the mom uses that to watch her kids every move but i dont think thats the case here
@@supotter377 Yeah, I have a 2 year old & was thinking it's a good idea to have a baby monitor. He's never left alone, but once he's able to play alone it would come in handy. Altho once he gets old enough to need privacy(like 10+ maybe?), then I'd have to respect his privacy! My parents disrespected my privacy constantly as a teenager so I'm never repeating that mistake! It's so violating 🥲
On thay note, I wish more parents realized they're hurting their kids by not allowing them to develop a sense of self & have privacy. Bc of my parent's mistakes I moved 8,000 miles away from them, the first chance I got lol. Don't be like them! 😂
The Pokeball thing was always so strange to me because why would parents allow that to be in their baby's crib, firstly? Secondly, the sealing issue could've easily been solved by a hole drilled into the bottom of each half. While the recall made sense, a long-term fix was also easy.
Exactly! those toys were meant for kids 8 and up, it had no reason to be in an infants crib.
Before that I remember getting eggs and capsule toys from vending machines, and I recall those always having at least 1 small hole in them, if not 3. No excuse for either the parents or the manufacturer to allow it to happen.
That's why you should always watch your kid while he/she is playing with a toy. Still you should never give an infant a toy like that.
Ikr? The Burger King Pokéball toys had an age restriction of 8+. It really is infuriating that 2 children died and 1 almost died due to parental negligence and failure to supervise their children while playing with this toy. I remember getting those little capsule toys from vending machines and the capsules had at least 3 small holes in them to prevent suctioning. There is absolutely no excuse for why these pokéball toys did not have small holes to prevent suctioning. Also, Burger King’s initial reluctance to recall these toys shows a total disregard for child safety. They claimed their toys were “safe” and “not harmful to children”. The next time Burger King comes out with a toy like that, they should include a “suffocation risk” warning on the packaging
Having more than one child makes it more likely. One kid might throw the ball into a playpen and a parent might not think much about it because it's just a solid piece of plastic with no small parts that could be chewed off. Then the parent might think the child is sleeping with their back to them and not notice the problem before it's too late. Obviously all those things are unlikely, but possible. People need to stop blaming parents for unexpected freak accidents. I had one of those pokeballs as a kid and remember thinking you'd have to be stupid to get that thing stuck to your face but didn't realize how very possible that was for a baby with their tiny faces, uncoordinated fingers and tiny lungs that might not have enough air left to push out and break the suction. So sad and unfortunate. I kept mine til I was grown. If I had any idea where it was now, I would for sure drill holes in it.
I kinda agree with the evil stick storre owner. Parents DO need to actually take an active role in parentings and look at the stuff they are buying their kids and or inspect it. Doesn't mean its not a bizarre product but parents need to do their job.
The evil cackling is so nostalgic for me. That exact noise plays on a halloween pumpkin toy I own
The Evilstick laughter stock sound is used in like 90% of all "witch related toys" in Europe.
I love it ❤❤❤
It’s also literally just one misprint in a bunch of normal wonds.
I had a monster toy as a child that made the same laugh as well.
Yeah, loving the diffirence in America and Europe. Here it would be "Ooo witchy laugh" while in America it's "Omg! So demonic and traumatizing." The diffirence in toys and how they are marketed at children is a very cool nugget showcasing the cultural diffirence as well! Like how more hazardous European playgrounds are. The diffirent ways of parenting, religion, law system and over all approach to general life varies so much and affects things to such an intercitate detail. It's quite fascinating really.
I'm pretty sure that laugh is in 90% of any product that has "evil laughing"
I used to work in a discount store, and the "Evilstick" mystery is easily explained.
It was more than likely Halloween overstock that was repurposed and repackaged as a children's toy. It literally happens all the time. This case was particularly stupid, imagery like that has no place in a kid's toy. Still, I am shocked at the hoops people go through to try and make a big conspiracy out of something that is very likely super mundane.
That's what _they_ *want* you to think
I have seen this a lot at flea markets. You'll see these Asian storefronts that sell really, really cheap clothing. And a lot of the time the ties and stuff will be from like Harry Potter costumes and will still have the labels on them. It's wacky.
Your comment is correct, people will rebrand items that either go out of season, or stop selling well. They just want to get their products out.
This actually makes a lot of sense. Thank you. I appreciate anyone helping debunk obvious conspiracy theories because they convolute the truth and hide the ACTUAL messed up stuff happening out there.
The only thing surprising about that story is that the store owner didn’t purchase them on aliexpress and that someone bothered to sell the stock of a shitty 99c toy at a trade show.
24:21 the hacker sounded like a literal gamer
When i saw the picture of the evilwand, it gave me shiffers. Down my spine that i just got goose bomps
The Pokeball one is just sheer negligence from the parents, it's like leaving your 2 year old with a knife unattended, then being surprised it went horribly wrong. As for the cameras, that never stopped, it still happens to this day, the difference is that most cameras used for security no longer have a mic built-in, so instead people who get access to them instead just record and spy on people, then share the videos (or even the login credentials) online, often for a fee.
It doesnt make it safer to watch around a baby havin a knife anyhow so whatchu point?
I thought the ball could break and could get into throat, but suffocation by suction took me by surprise, it was something no one thought of back then.
Yea ok buddy
Same thing with making dressers having baby mounts.
Yea leaving a child with a pokeball is comparable to giving them a knife…the shit people say online
Some of these are very sad cases, but others are just complete irresponsibility on the part of the parents. Why would you not only give your infant a Pokeball to play with but then not even watch her while she has it? What if she tried to swallow it and choked to death on a piece of it? There's so many clear indicators that a toy like that is not for infants. I feel bad the child died, but the fact that they blamed the manufacturers (even if they could have been more suction-proof) just sounds like avoiding their personal responsibility.
yeah, its like those parents that say "its just kids being kids" whenever there kid falls off there bike and breaks an arm, there ignoring there kid
Yeah a toddler doesn't even know what a pokeball is why not get them something specifically meant for toddlers
I'm pretty old and one rule of babies has always been not to have toys in their crib
Exactly, came to comments to see if anyone else thought same.
Thank you! I hardly see anyone point out how negligent and stupid it was to give small children something like that. I still feel bad for the parents sure, but they basically put all the blame on BK and not poor decisions on their part.
Ridiculous.. this is darwism awards for the young.
Climb a tree, fall out, blame the tree
I have ADHD myself and I'll say I have never gotten hurt by a hoverboard or a fidget spinner
I’m a parent myself, and I don’t understand why so many of these fatal accidents happen. Of course there are moments when I can’t keep an eye on my son every hour of the day, but I’m not so distracted that I block myself off from what he’s getting into. It’s really not that difficult to monitor what your child does or what they play with or watch on television. It doesn’t take much effort to be present with them.
some parents have no accountability to parent. its why so many kids are just put in front of something to keep them occupied so mommy and/or daddy can get time to themselves or do as little as possible to actually parent. this is off note about fatal toys, but its the reason why the term ipad kid exists. its the same reason why children are discovering nsfw sites or being preyed on by online creeps. parents expect everything else to raise their kids other than themselves
Bad genetics.
I understand the shark toy, no one would expect something like that to hurt a kid because it doesn't appear sharp and you can never tell when a kid will trip, but the others are definitely down to the parents
@@Vampirecryptyup, all toys have some kind of age requirement. Most of the time it’s because parents are buying a toy that’s obviously made for older children due to small parts being in them. Heck all toys have these warnings printed on them. I honestly don’t know why burger king got in trouble for the poke balls. A baby shouldn’t have a toy with such small figures anyway. Those parents need to take accountability.
Adult supervision required, used to be the only words we needed
I know everyone sees the Pokeball PSA as creepy and everything, but personally I absolutely love the juxtaposition of the brightly-colored Pokeball, front-and-center, and the framing of it like it's a murder weapon, while this monotone announcer describes how it kills children
😭
I seen it exactly like this too 😭
Agree!
it feels like anti-drug PSAs from the 70s-90s
it's not scary, more of unsettling. it gives off the vibe that you'll be jumpscares by the most out of pocket yet terrorizing thing ever.
at least it does for me 😶
Why would you even put a camera in your kids rooms in the first place? Way too invasive, plus it allows for these kinds of hackings to happen in the first place.
I’m reading comments about how the Evil Stick was funny but as a child, which my parents didn’t monitor what I watch, I came across the uncensored video of it and it traumatized me for a year or so. I’m still kinda scared of it and I’m 12 now-
Who would've thought a baby shark toy would be one of the most terrifying toys ever
Baby shark is already terrifying by itself

Lets be real you all. Slowly the childrens entertainment industry is being overrun with mindless repetitive songs and shows like this. Because it appeals to the lazy sides of parents so they can not put effort in to there kids intelligence. All they have to do is put a kid in front of an Ipad and turn on this low effort garbage and every now and again get some stupid toys to quell the kids repetitive ruteen. And big companies capitalize off the fact of no effort needing to be put in to this trash, if you think any of the masterminds of this content care about your kids you’ve got another thing coming.. then you got parents flipping over Elsaagate shit, think about it, that shit will always be there, theres no stopping it. They can’t hold them selfs responcible. If thats not scary to no thats are next generation i Don’t know what is.
Me
I've got an evil stick right here.
The first ring camera hacker was pretty conclusively identified as 'Zoom' Corey Ray Barnhill, now known as Corey Shiratori.
Instead of an arrest he got a lucrative job at an internet company (He is currently the CTO of Path) despite being outed for watching explicit child videos and admitting on a harrowing recording to forcing his partner to watch them too.
Wait what? How?
Classic move of IT company
That's a false rumor made up on a website run by a pedophile. The true culprits were arrested in December by the LAPD he even mentions them later in the video. Nothing was ever conclusively identified, it doesn't even sound like him the longer the clip goes on. That was a lie ethan ralphs ex cohost gator made up. Kya previously joked about his friend McCarty doing the santa claus thing in an article when it first happened on the Verge. You should stop acting like you're an authority on anything the only thing that's conclusive here is that you're clueless.
Wow, reality is even more un-realistic than I thought, and that's saying a lot.
Average tech-bro behavior
I can totally see child me also wanting an evilstick and later crying to my mother to give it back to me, even if it's weird and a bit scary. When I was a child, I would want the weirder dolls at those stores.
Some of these just make me continue to be convinced people aren't ready to be parents
The evilstick thing fascinates me. The shop owner isn't wrong though, it is the parent's responsibility to investigate and understand what they're giving to their children. Also, the promise of fairies is hilarious cause in fae lore there are good and bad fairies, so they were not mislead technically 😂
I kind of feel the same way. First of all, why are you buying dollar store bootleg Chinese toys for your two-year-old? Those toys are much more likely to contain lead paint, but are also almost guaranteed to break into thin, sharp little pieces eventually or contain small parts.
None of that has anything to do with the Evil Stick itself, but there’s other forms of idiocy involved here too.
@@Solaceon most parents will just do that because its cheap and its easier to just buy something to avoid the child throwing a tantrum. though im curious how the mom didnt see the name of the product considering it was in massive, easily readable letters. that alone would make me question it. id at least would want to listen to the sounds it made but i can also understand not knowing that behind the sticker was that image
It looked like the image was covered with a cellophane “mirror” that would make it appear when backlit, but not if it was static. I can easily see buying something like this because you just think it’s a bad English translation, and getting shocked by what happens. It was not packaged correctly at all!
At least you should check if the toy functional or not
IT is the stores fault and not the mothers. The packaging is misleading don't act like the same couldn't have happened with yourself or your mothers
James Thomas looks EXACTLY how I would imagine a baby monitor hacker would look.
I thought the same thing! Like dude, you’re not doing yourself any favors by living up to a stereotype
As soon as i saw their picture i was laughing my ass off bro it was unreal
it's like someone had a little bit of fun with the sliders on character creation. one has their eyes sunken and way too close together on a puffy round face... the other has an odd shaped head, and big ole eyes too far apart. both look on the edge of human.
edit : THOSE EARS. DAYUM
he looks like an oblivion character
tbh, the pokeball one was like. okay it could've been easily fixed by a puncture hole. but also like. DONT GIVE THIS TO A BABY?????
im bummed if alot of the ones not sold were destroyed because nowadays I like collecting them. Id love one of the pikachu plush ones, but as the years go on it gets less likely due to the ones that are sealed are getting opened or getting higher in price, and the ones that are open are probably in collections
The Fact that the "Evil Stick" incident took place in Dayton, Ohio, really fascinates me, considering that I've been to Dayton countless times, and driven past the very store where the toy was bought, and did not give it much thought (I don't remember hearing anything about the incident when it happened back in 2014).
A big thing about the Evilstick is the woman isn't just holding a knife. She's slitting her wrists. That's super messed up and I would not expect that to be hidden in any children's toy. Also how was the mom supposed to know? It's literally hidden underneath the foil. Who takes apart/ possibly destroys their kids' toys like that before letting them play with it????
The way that kind of toy works doesn't require you to destroy the toy by removing the foil to see what is underneath. When the button on the wand is pressed a light comes on reviling the image underneath all she had to do was push the button.
The image on the toy was done by some artist. It's meant to be a vampire drinking her own blood. He stated that he did not sell the rights to the people who made the stick and that they used his image without his permission.
Well who doesn’t read the name of the fucking toy they’re buying their child??? Just plain ignorant.
@@gamedesignerwannabeakavipe7506 an image of self mutilation is not indicated in the name, how would a parent know? Do you have kids and research every toy before buying it at the $1 store when your kid is begging for it? Stfu gamer boy
@@cuntapalooza and btw that’s coming from MY parents. My dad totally wouldn’t have bought a toy for me without seeing the fucking name of it. Like what do you just grab something and buy it without looking at the name or for goodness sakes the ingredients? Only Lord knows what junk you eat.
The worst part about the burger King pokeballs is that if you took both halves, and drilled a small hole in the center, they couldn't suction and suddenly they were a lot safer
yeah, like, it's such an obvious solution that it's maddening- and other concave baby toys have holes in them for that exact reason. i can get how it was overlooked, but after the initial incident they should have at least started putting holes in them..
@@mistermuse9543I don't think they expected toddlers to have them
@@mattwolf7698but they should have, sure it was marketed towards slightly older kids, but you know what a lot of older kids have? Little siblings who they share with, or who just grab things they find left on the floor because 5yr olds aren't known to clean up their toys
My thoughts exactly!
Maybe putting a couple slits on either end, and the suction is gone!
@@mistermuse9543 after the initial incident these things were already made and out in the public. thats why a recall happened. retroactively changing production of a limited item after its already sold isnt even possible. they would have to destroy every unit already made in stock, change the molds and production method, get new testing done because its a new mold, etc. you make it seem like oh yeah just poke holes!! such an easy fix!! you have no idea how the world works.
The fucking evilstick part builds up the horrible cackling laughter and the lights so much then you see the footage and it just becomes hilarious
I remember seeing the Pokeball recall commercial when I was younger. I remember it being very jarring, because it would play in between really high-energy commercials. I didn't quite comprehend the recall message, just being confused about the image of a pokeball in darkness. That image was burned into my mind at the time.
Still kept my pokeball, though.
I literally just bought my daughter the baby shark bath toy yesterday. Had to check it out really quick and was glad to find they have fixed the issue. The dorsal fin and tail fin are now made of rubber while the rest of the toy is plastic.
They at least listened
wouldn't want to take that 1 in 625000 chance

I’ve never heard of the evil stick story but dang, it seriously sounds like a bad internet creepypasta but the fact that it’s real is very disturbing to me 😬
At the store I work at, we sell the baby shark toys, but I think they were redesigned. While putting them on the shelves, I saw that the fins were made of a rubbery/soft material.
Honestly, 90% of these incidents are from the parents being negligent on the behalf of their young children. It sucks that everyone have to suffer the consequences from the few who are the runners up to the Darwin's Award.
Yeah exactly. 12 kids got hurt from the shark fin yet thousands are injured with forks every year. Are we gonna ban forks too? Its so dumb and over blown
@@ButterBallTheOpossumbecause if your using a sharp fork your old enough to be careful about it but, but a cute unexacting shark toy for 3 year olds
@@ButterBallTheOpossumforks arnt meant to be taken into a wet and slippery environment by toddlers
@@ButterBallTheOpossum You know to not give a fork to a toddler. Toys that are intended for toddlers have a higher standard of safety because it's 'supposed' to be safe.
Is this really that hard to understand?
The evil stick one really gets my goat. Who buys something called "evil stick" and expects it to be sunshine and rainbows? It's literally in the name! How is this even a story? :/
"Hey, I just bought my kid this toy called 'Doll that bleeds and has a head that spins like it's possessed' and... well, it bleeds and its head spins like it's possessed! What sicko would trick parents like that?!"
The pokeball story is so infuriating. Sure there is a design flaw with the toy itself but the parents leaving their infant child with any toy they can put in their mouth is pure negligance
right. i hate that companies are expected to make failsafes for when people misuse their products. all of the kids injured or killed by the BK toy we’re under 3 when the warnings on the toys say “not for use by children under the age of 3”
Parents can be that absolutely shitty to their child.
Its just a rare tragedy. You can't blame the parents for something like that. A parent leaving their child around sharp objects is obviously bad. A parent trusting their child with a seemingly harmless toy while they make dinner is not a bad parent.
@@saynotothemeta993 You don't leave your clearly infant children when they are playing... Period. These toys are not for a child under 3 to play and the parents gave it to a barely 2 years old infant.
And Children will practically always have an injury or damage risk when they're playing... they may run into sharp corners like edge of a table or a doorknob, trip and fall, throw stuff, prods stuff, and throwing hunger/thirst tantrums
If your child is awake and they are moving around, do not leave them unattended. At least keep a camera/baby monitor showing their activity. This is basic common sense.
@@aribantala define unattended?
If you mean don't go out to the shops and leave them on their own then of course I agree with you. If you mean you can't go to the toilet to have a sh*t for the first 3 or 4 years of your child's life then you're just being unrealistic and trying to sound smart on the Internet..
What happened is a tragedy not negligence. I feel for the parents and of course the baby who lost his or her life
I don't get why people sue for money after something kills a loved one that wouldn't make me feel better or bring my loved one back
I regret not getting a variant of the Evil Stick when a novelty candy store in my area was selling a literal treasure chest filled with them. At that time, the name printed on them was either Magic Stick or Fun stick but it was the same damn wand.
If you ask me, the parents are to blame for the pokeball incident. They were the ones not paying attention to their children after giving them this toy which has a warning on it about giving it to toddlers. Infuriating as hell.
i'm sorry but this is blatant victim blaming. it's not like parents expect their child to accidentally kill themselves with a toy

I remember seeing hoverboard fires all over the news, and I also remember seeing the baby shark bath toy on a lot of store shelves, and the photo on the "evil stick", looks like what would be the ultimate source of my nightmares! I even remember the hype of fidget spinners too!
The “kidnappers using figet spinners” thing just makes me think of the time some weirdos were “pretending to be chicken nuggets to lure children into meeting them”
Like… we really don’t teach kids not to talk to strangers anymore, huh?
As a child, I was told to never use my real name or tell my address to anyone online. As an adult, I'm baffled at the amount of grown adults who complain that "a stalker found my phone number and address through Facebook" that crop up.
It's no surprise to me that kids raised by parents who seem to have forgotten these basic rules, and demand to be freed of responsibility for things like that, can be so easily misled.

What i find hilarious about the evil stick is that despite the silly name people still consider it not just evil but traumatizing to kids, i guess it's called evil stick for a reason 😂
I swear to god that's the jigsaw laugh as well lmao
@DraxGamesTheatre it's a super generic sound bite. I heard it all the time in little spooky nick-nacks and toys from my childhood lol it brought back flash backs
Yeah, to me that was such a weird one to start with. It was called Evil Stick. What more warning did you need? Your failure to even look at what you give your kids is somehow a tragedy for everyone else that involves extreme sleuthing to find out where it's from like it's a conspiracy instead of just... a silly stick?
I tried buying one. But can't find it
@@aMotionlessI remember the same sound in those little motion activated scare statues people put on their porch around halloween. Those sounds from our childhood are burned in our brains haha, you just have to hear them to startle the memory back to surface. I still remember this Nickelodeon alarm clock that would do like 8 or so? sounds after playing the SPACE LAUNCH COUNTDOWN 3........2..............1........... Reveille, TICK TOCK TICK TOCK, COOH COOH, COOH COOH, SPROING! BOINK! At least those are nice sounds I have burned into my brain.
The Pokemon frustrates me the most. I remember having so many of those things, I was like 8 during the promotion and ate so much burger king trying to get them all. When my mom heard about the problems she didn't take mine away, even tho I had a two year old little sister, because she knew I wasn't that stupid, to either put it on mine or my sister's face, and she knew I didn't like when my sister got her grubby sticky two year old hands on my Pokemon stuff. Those toys weren't meant for kids under 4, because I remember how I had so many PokeBalls was because my parents would take the toy out of my sister's and give me the extra ball. Its sad the kid died, very sad, but why would you leave a 13 month old alone with any toy? Especially one that could clearly fit on a toddlers face? It's crazy how many parents don't seem to give a shit. I also remember the commercial and asking my mom if she was going to take them from me. She said no. She knew I wasn't stupid enough to do shit like that, but stupid enough to wear 6 of them on my belt loops of my jeans to the movie thinking I was a pokemon master. and the fidget spinner where the girl choked. Why was a girl that age putting the toy in her mouth! There's no way that little peice just flew out and perfectly shot down her throat. If parents would teach their kids "hey, only food, medicine, and your toothbrush go on your mouth." And watch what the kids play with, maybe the girl wouldn't have nearly died and had to have what sounds like very painful surgery.
I remember when I had a hoverboard. I fell when trying to get off, and I fractured my back and broke my wrist. Ahh, memories 😂

Tbh the Pokeball one sounds more like the Parents fault. They weren't for toddlers after all
Oh yeah, I was a kid during this, and I remember being so angry that negligent parents ruined this for me, it clearly had warning everywhere to keep it away from toddlers.
Sure but the toys should have had holes in them from the get go and Burger King shouldn’t have tried to deny what was happening.
Why TF would you even put a Pokéball over your mouth and nose? And why would toddlers play with them? Sounds like a parent issue
exactly my thoughts when I heard it, 13 month old baby? don't most of those toys say 3yrs+
But either way the Parents should not leave there child unattended, let alone with a plastic toy.,
Thing is, babies will latch onto ANYTHING they see that doesn't scare them.
The pokeball one sounds more of negligence by the parents' unattendance to the child, than a faulty toy. Some toys aren't just meant for infants and babies!
Having said, may rest in peace those angels.
Not a coincidence that only infants died despite it saying "for ages 3 and up" or whatever the rating is.
No excuse for manufacturing corner cutting. Two tiny holes on the top and bottom of the toy would of completely prevented the risk of suction. Corner cutting costs lives, there is no valid excuse for doing it. The companies only got a fraction of what they deserved especially trying to cover up the initial first death. Profits above human life, disgusting.
plot twist parents did it.
@@antlerman7644Yeah you are also right. Something to prevent suffocation would have saved human lives.
@@antlerman7644 ok
parents are still responsible for not looking out for their child
people dont realize the evilstick is just the most thoughtful prank ever.
It's actually sad people need to worry about their kid's TOYS have gore or kill their kid. Sickening.
I remember being PISSED about the Burker King Pokeball incident because my over protective mom threw away all my Pokeballs even though I was 8 or 9 years old and knew how to not suffocate myself with a toy. Pretty sure I still have some of the trading cards though.
In regards to fidget toys, to which I have a fidget cube, they are designed to "help" kids with autism or anxiety, because they "stim" in response to certain emotions. For me with my anxiety, my fidget cube is a key component for how I quit biting my nails. Which has been a major issue I've had since as far back as I can remember.
For autistic kids, stimming seems to help them manage emotions and cope with overwhelming situations. That is why fidget toys can be a "benefit".
I can confirm. I have autism and I have a spinning pen by me for basically every waking hour of the day. It genuinely really helps if I get overwhelmed, and it's also just really fun to just spin in your hand, but it does take a while to learn how to properly spin a pen.
Personally I'm a fan of stress balls, I currently have two of them. It would’ve been more, but I had ones with mesh netting that broke and also accidentally popped another without the netting.
adhd haver here, I just think fidget toys are a good alternative to absolutely destroying my lips and nails (since I'm used to pick at them) and I don't know but for me that is a good benefit.
@@DarkStarCoreX have you looked into skill toys at all? A lot of pen twirlers take to begleri really well.
@@rivetsquid8887 Yep. I tried to learn contact juggling with one of those fushigi balls, and while it was nice to play with, it usually requires a bit of concentration, whereas with a spinning pen i can just go about my day, i don't even have to focus on it at all.
I remember a toy I had as a kid that was a string pull. It was for toddlers. the one that says, "The cow goes - Mooo" etc. etc. I got my finger caught as the string wrapped around it and my finger was getting pinched and pinned against the toy. My mom had to cut the string.
I remember that vividly. About a year later we saw the toy still being sold, only it had been changed. The string was gone and it had a lever to pull instead.
I’ve never seen one of those with a string. Makes sense they would have started that way though.
Honestly, BK should've said "It wasn't our fault, why did you leave a child under one year unattended with this toy?" Instead of saying it was probably not the cause of death, which made them more suspicious.
Fr. The toys even had warnings saying that they weren't meant for children under 3. The parents that gave them to their babies anyway should be held responsible for child neglect or endangerment. The warnings are there for a reason
Yeah I don’t like blaming parents, but I think I have to on this one!
I don't think anyone really can be blamed. that sort of hyperspecific risk wouldn't have been a thought for most people, nor for manufacturers. and you can tell, because hundreds of thousands of those pokeballs were in circulation but only a handful of children were hurt/died. still too many, but as any parent or older sibling will know, it's almost like small children want to die with how they find ways to interact with the world
@@registeredjopper that is true.
@@registeredjopper If there's a warning that says it's not meant for children under 3, even if you can't possibly imagine how your child could get hurt it's best not to give them those kinds of toys. A 3 year old can't even appreciate pokemon yet. They're itty bitty actual babies. Get them a toy truck or a plushy or something
The section about hoverboards took me back. I remember everyone in my class wanting one including myself. I think my mom had heard about all the instances of hoverboards malfunctioning so she refused to get me one. I thought she was just exaggerating, but here we are.
Dragons need HUGS
I was legitimately really concerned when I saw kids living in my apartment building had gotten hoverboards.
And shockingly, within a month we had a fire. Wasn't that bad, it was contained to the family's apartment and noone was hurt.
But wtf I thought we learned our lesson with the Galaxy Note 7.
You can get them nowadays and not worry too bad. They’re fun.
I’d be demanding to know who is talking to my kids and demanding to know how they got access to the security system in order to get to talk to them if that was me that happened to. That’s just fucked up.
Evil stick gave sum crazy nostalgia
Evil Stick is what happens when parents buy bootleg toys. Not always obviously but it’s what can happen.
"Look it's either one 20 dollar Batman, or 10 of these random gubbins I found at the dodgy Chinese shop around the corner."
maybe toy companies should stop making their brand name stuff so expensive, considering their stuff is usually also from china

If the kids were falling on it, then maybe the parents should have been around to supervise so they weren't falling in the tub. Even without the toy, if the kid hit their head on the side of the tub or the faucet, they could literally die.
same im confused on how they would do that if its just plastic? it cant be that sharp@@HuxTheSergal
As someone with severe anxiety and struggles w ADHD I can promise fidget toys can help. If nothing else it can help w more harmful anxious ticks like chewing nails and hair, picking, and scratch at skin, ect. I also find it gives me something to focus on when I feel a more serious episode of anxiety about to happen, keeping it from building into a full anxiety attack
I too have ADHD though personally in my experience with using other fidget devices, you're better off with a fidget cube or worry stone rather than a fidget spinner. and because of the nature of the spinners becoming more of a toy than a helpful item, I don't think it quite helps. I truly think there's better fidget items on the market that are generally, safer and less distracting while still providing assistance.
I do believe the use of fidget toys would be either more useful for one person but less useful for another.
@@Its_Asteria I wouldn't recommend a fidget cube just because they have the stupid clicking noises and oh my god is that so annoying to listen to, especially if you also have ADHD and are trying to focus in class and someone else is just 'click click click'
yes!! i dislike the spinners personally, but i love the little poppers for home use! and my rings/necklaces are good for out and about times ^-^
i usually use them but idk if i have adhd. there are times where i wish i would've had one because there was nothing to calm my anxiety, but when i have access to them they can calm me. they can help.
(im on the spectrum but idk if that changes or adds anything)
Im still trying to grasp why an older child would put it in their mouth.
the baby shark thing is like a child running with a stick and falling, or a child slipping onto a lego...
That shark is my one yo favorite bath toy. We had no idea about the recall. Thank you
The pokeball thing was ruined by bad parents, sad kids died but instead of suing BK and causing a recall, the parents should have been charged in their kids death. There is a reason only 2 kids died out of the hundreds of thousands sold.
Right? I always wondered why this toy in particular was infamous, as I had a dozen of these around my house as a kid.

I like how children in ring hacks are smart enough to call a parent or give a fake name. Horror movie writers should look at tho and maybe stop making children following a demon's instructions.
You’re so right! The Evil Stick was just a coincidence that the mom bought it for a two year old. As much as I would like to blame the mom, she didn’t know what it was going to do and she just happened to pick the traumatizing one.
A 2 year old is not capable of processing that the imagery is supposed to be scary. You're looking at it with adult eyes.
The kid wouldn't know wtf it is, just some silly thing until her mother started freaking out about it. Then they learned that it was bad.
I can still blame the mom because she bought a toy called the evil stick for her two year old, what did she think it was going to be? Walk in and buy your eight month old the Toddler Terrorizer and see if it's any better.
@@AParticularlyConcernedCitizenno one reads the names of toys tf u mean
i kinda dont blame her at all tbh because the toy WAS placed in the little girl's toy section. you should not even HAVE to "inspect the toy" if that's where it is placed. nobody should be expected to inspect something when it's literally being framed as being for kids. it is absolutely on the store owner for placing the toy in a kids section to begin with. i mean really. do you think someone's gonna inspect their kid's dora the explorer toy for "dangers"? no. because they got it from the toy section which means the toy should be safe RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
Oh, I'll blame her! It says 'evil' right on it, and that it's for children three and up, so really, it's go her coming and going.
Why would you have given a pokeball to a baby or small child? That is absolutely the parent's fault. The fact that those negligent parents won a settlement is insane.
A few things.
1. I distinctly remember Baby Shark being a thing long before the "modern" fad, with it being a popular song when I was in First Grade, with some unique added verses.
2. Despite the recall, I still find the Pokeballs at Savers every now and then in bags. I used to find them a lot in the early 2010s with all the toys still inside, but every now and then I still find big bags of just the pokeballs with a few containing the toys in the large toy bags at Savers. I've started hoarding them because I figure they're gonna be worth something someday, as so many were destroyed and frankly, if nothing else, they'd make neat easter egg substitutes at some point.
Can't believe you left out the Cabbage Patch Kids doll that ate that little girl's hair right up to her scalp. Kind of a glaring omission.
I remember the news report on that one. Girl had very long hair and somehow it got in the things mouth and went out the back compartment.
Oh my mother had one, she kept it when it was recalled but my grandpa burned it-
