Clive sez: "Unbelievably compelling reading: A database of all toy-product recalls, including blow-by-blow explanations of the physical damage the toys can do. You can search by toy name, manufacturer, or, most grimly, the type of "problem with toy" you want to find.

Here's a taste -- from the recall of the "Galoob Sky Dancers" toys:"

PROBLEM WITH TOY: The hard plastic Sky Dancers® dolls can fly rapidly in unpredictable directions, and can hit and injure both children and adults. Galoob® has received 170 reports of the dolls striking children and adults resulting in 150 reports of injuries.

They include eye injuries, including scratched corneas and incidents of temporary blindness, broken teeth, a mild concussion, a broken rib, and facial lacerations that required stitches.
