Controversial Dolls
By Euphrates



Parents have been worrying about children's safety for as long as man has had tools and furniture.
It wasn't until the Baby Boomer era they also had to worry about their children and their toys.  
Over the last few decades, Ralph Nader and fretful parents have been scrambling desperately to intercept 
toys that they feared would sear skin, block windpipes, penetrate eyeballs or corrupt tender minds.  


The word "dolls" conjures up happy images of diapered pink stubby-legged babies, smiling little
girls in blue gingham dresses and teen brother and sister fashion dolls in smart sweaters and 
poodle skirts.  Well, every family has its black sheep, and in this year of lists, we will 
review some of the most memorable dolls and action figures that were ever banned by government
agencies, recalled by manufacturers or cast out by parents.
