It blows my mind how many children die from poorly made toys. I used to be even paranoid of soothers that babies suck on. They call them binkies now. I was told to buy the ones that didn’t have separate parts that could come off. Of course that kind cost 2 times more than the other.

Yep, that kind of nonsense is everywhere. Cabinet handles aren’t 1-piece construction - they’re 3 & fail in middle. Doorknobs use to be 4 pieces, all metal. Now they’re about 12 pieces & the moving internal parts are made of lousy plastic that fails on stress points, etc.

Makes me long for the days of simple hydro rocket that can be launched 40 feet up with a small well-made hand-pump. Or a no-frills water-wiggle. Put it on the end of a garden hose; turn it on- watch it stand up & run around as the water sprinkles everyone. Basic.
