They were approved, tested, wrapped, and put under Christmas trees.
In this episode, we examine the dangerous, baffling, and occasionally radioactive history of American toys.
From a 1950’s science kit that came with actual uranium ore and a government seal of approval, to a beloved Cabbage Patch doll with a motorized jaw, no off switch, and no ability to distinguish between a plastic carrot and a child's hair.
Because progress in toy safety is real.
It was also paid for.
And not always cheaply.
