Magnetic Poop Is Choking Hazard




When this blog first emerged, it did so as a result of trauma. Last year's holiday season brought us the terrifying child's toy Butterscotch Pony, the life-sized pony that requires that parents assemble it away from their children for its mechanical head is packaged separately and such a vision may scar young children.

This year the prize winner for toy best kept away from children is Barbie and Her Doggie, Tanner. Yes, folks. You can feed Tanner biscuits that look the same going in as they do coming out. You can also dazzle your young one with a fabulous magnetic pooper scooper. I am sure that's what every little girl wants: to to play with her dog's crap in a twisted training regime that will condition her to carry around pockets of plastic baggies every time she walks real Fido. She could try magnets in her real life to clean up after her pooch, but I am not sure that would work.

Even more shocking is the media hooplah around the toy and its magnetic pooper scooper. Apparently, the magnet comes loose and kids can choke on it. Also, kids have been eating the round "biscuits".

At least they weren't converted into a date rape drug upon digestion.

You don't have to take my word for it. This seems to be a hot blog topic.

The Technology Liberation Front already wrote my blog for me and even illustrated it with a better graphics.
