Because we care, Nerd Approved is offering a short list of dangerous yet strangely enticing gadgets and toys for your safety…and enjoyment.
So, do not purchase, use, or think about the following products:
United Nuclear Magnets: Apparently, these magnets are so ridiculously strong that they could easily break your arm should they come anywhere near one another.
USB Pocket Knife: For the MacGyver geek in all of us.
Wicked Strong Laser Pointer: It can light a match from 10 feet away.
iPod Earbuds: Who would have thought cramming those things into your ear might be harmful to your hearing?
Cellphones: The jury may still be out on whether cell phones cause brain damage, but the Mythbusters revealed that using a cell phone while driving impares your judgement as much as driving while drunk. And that’s good enough for me.
Mickey Mornin’ Toaster: A kids toaster that burns Mickey’s image into toast. Apparently it’s a burn hazard. Go figure.
There is also the complete list of the most dangerous kids toys from 2005 available here. Needless to say, there are some real gems in there - including a water bomb fun kit, anti-gravity boots, and a Lord of the Rings Crossbow set.
You’ve been warned.
