For those wondering how Mike got the toys if they're banned: selling/manufacturing is banned, not owning. That's why Mike had plastic, not metal lawn darts.

Scary how many seemingly harmless toys can be dangerous. Great job highlighting these risks. As a parent, this is crucial information. Definitely sharing this with other parents.
Lawyers need to put product warning on Bucky Balls: Do Not Insert This Product In Mouth Or Rectum. What say you just don't sit your toddler down in front of it while you go to take a nap.
NGL, I kinda wish that he and Ugo had collabed on this one. Like, after every time they had to concede a point to the other one over the legal topic of the day, they had to test one without any safety equipment. This way, they only bring the arguments forward they're willing to lost a finger/limb for 😂 👀
The two best toy recalls I have ever heard of were A. The paw patrol fire hat that was recalled for being a fire hazard (does anybody else see Marshall shaking his head disapprovingly well muttering you're going to need a ruf ruf rescue when your boss is through with you), and B. The pins labeled "for the children's sake, think toy safety" which were recalled on ground being a choking hazard, the pin to sharp, and the paint toxic.
I hate the choking hazard alone for banning something, if there arent young kids around its not even a hazard. I mean hell you could choke on a piece of fruit and die one day and theyre not all affixed with a choking hazard.
They always mention the roller blade Barbie but they never mention what prompted the ban; A boy got his pants caught on fire by it while he was playing with his sister (he was okay, just shook). The only time anyone's talked about that particular detail was on the Transformers wiki, because the whole incident prompted Hasbro to get rid of a very similar toy that also sparked. Now when they do anything like that, they keep it absolutely contained in a plastic capsule.
9:22 The bigger concern with the Uranium is more that is it toxic not the radioactivity because they probably included somthing that gives of next to no radiation.
If you know the toys history, thats the reason for the ban. Using the kit and a bunch of outside materials a kid in I believe a Chicago suburb created a small reactor and irradiated his families whole property which was then condemned for clean up, losing them the house and it also irradiated the whole block as the reactor was just throwing off fallout, It took years supposedly for the hazmats to successfully clean it up and remove the things so irradiated that they themselves were adding to it. I think the dude survived too. He was just a teen at the time.
i think the reason why it’s a serious choking hazard is because you don’t just have 1 or a couple of orbeez, You have DOZENS. And it’s added by the fact it’s squishy, and reminds us of gummies
It is cellulose paper on wood. I literally held burning cellulose paper in my hand. Wood is actually quite heat resistant you would need moru heat than that. There are however many more flammable materials than solid wood.
Those lil punx get into everything. Magnets are cool to play with and could even be appetizing if Pica is involved due to lack of minerals in our foods.
Lawn darts were the absolute best yard game. They flew long and straight like nothing else. Imagine a 9" nail with the point end completely rounded, then 4" of it taken and stuck into a 3-4oz weight. Give that assembly a sturdy 6-8" dart tail, and send it downrange!
There are many product testing channels/websites. Mike, your rapid fire (pun intended) product testing is great. We learn about the law from you, and this piece was different but very law oriented, fun too watch, and quite enlightening. Thank you for it.
Yeah, it was probably worth some money. But personally I never collect anything if I can't take it out of the box. What's the fun in that? But he could have sold the boxed version to a weirdo who collects boxed stuff (haha no offense if you do) and bought an unboxed one to play with (for a net profit).
My parents still have their metal tipped lawn darts in original box. When I seen the wrist flamethrower it wasn't advertised to kids, it was advertised as a magician's prop.
@@josejh-eb8st they are collectable now because you can't get them. They are both dead and all of the property is in a family trust. Just my sister and I but the memories are worth more than the tangible items. You would be surprised to know what we left that museums had borrowed. We felt that it was where it should be.
that is the era where the US was obsessed with nuclear shit lmao they made dressing contests of the cloud of nukes, wanted to make nuclear cars damn it, probably they even had an celebration every time an nuke was tested in new mexico
Half the fun of lawn darts was seeing them stick in the ground. The ban on lawn darts should change. The metal tipped darts should only be banned for sale to minors and minor use. The packaging used to say that adult supervision was required. The injury problem was due to unsupervised children acting stupid.
Ye also Mike I think you can do stuff with stuff like the Barbie doll with our a license if I'm right for movie remake(s) I'm thinking of doing the back to the future train scene(s) 4 props for 3 parts but there will be one more just to blow up since it did
From $17K to $145K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
given the fact we can only own handguns, bolt/lever action rifles and most shotguns people have rattlecanned nerf blasters black and attempted to use them as robbery tools. stupid to think it works, even more stupid to actually fall for it. me personally though if someone sticks a gun shaped object in my face im not fuckin with em
Nerf: Releases an ACTUAL toy looking like a TOY, can't be mistaken with an actual firearm because it looks like a TOY. Some Australian state: NAAAAAAH IT LOOKS LIKE A DANGEROUS FIREARM REEEEEEEE. You can always count on Australia to release some of the most stupid laws ever.
the hammock is known as a paraguayan hammock in my country, and every version I've seen here in argentina (country that has a border with paraguay) lacks the spacer thingy. it's almost always just cloth that gets narrow on the ends, but is tied differently since it's portable and can be tied on trees to take naps in the open (clearly a north argentinian/guaraní thing to do)
7:04 I can’t believe that the hammock was labeled as a toy and is banned?!? Lots of people in my home country have used it (specially in the coast and hot humid weather) as a bed
Nerf hobbyist here... aussie nerf hobbyist. It's not all nerf blasters in Australia. It's that a select few can technically be classified as fire arms. Nerf is *considered* a firearm under some aussie legal definitions but it's all in a super grey area. That jolt reskin used in this video is completely legal and heck you can even open carry it. But it gets tricky with stuff like fortnite blasters and definitely the bigger hobby blasters like the milsig m79, worker harrier or bk-1s. Though I completely agree. Nerf in all forms should be completely legal and the joule cap for toy/imitation firearms and nerf should be raised to at least European limits. 70fps don't cut it for stock games anymore.
One thing to consider is how hard it is to use sparks in such small quantities at that temperature to start fires with anything other than hyper-flamable gas, which is why it's my guess that they didn't put warning labels on the barbie toy.
When I was a kid, we used to have lawn dart wars. We would make forts out of lawn furniture then throw lawn darts at each other. Those were the old lawn darts with points on the end (pre ban). We also used to shoot bottle rockets at each other (using metal garbage can lids as shields). At the time we didn't think we were doing anything dangerous, but, looking back on it, it is a wonder we all lived to adulthood.
