6. Hammocks-- faulty strands, brackets and poorly built. Plus, no instructions as to how to get in without breaking your neck.
7. Slip 'N Slide-- some kids slid off side onto concrete.
8. Rockets-- bystander injuries and pain when hit in face.
9. Bunk Beds-- almost two recalls a year since 1985. Hurts when you fall off, especially top bunk.
Deep Fryers-- Obvious. Don't put your hand in it.
--Ouch, My Hand. --Cooter

Ten Beloved, Banned and Recalled Products-- Part 1
From the Nov. 11, 2012 Yahoo! Shopping, Popular Mechanics by Allison T. McCann.
LAWN DARTS-- The threat was obvious, especially where kids or drunken adults were concerned.
BUCKYBALLS-- (also Buckycubes) The problem was swallowing them, especially if you were dumb enough to swallow more than one. (I don't remember these.)
ELECTRIC BLANKETS- Fall sleep (not surprising) and you might get a fiery wake up call.
FONDUE SETS-- plastic rings at the tip cracked.
BEANBAG CHAIRS-- a danger when small children would get into them, eat the contents.
Five More. --DaCoot
