injuries a year so more regulations were passed in the late 60s and early 70s uh 70s for like you said just protecting kids from dangers and toys and what these toys were made of in the case of chemistry sets uh like the chemicals that were in there

Yeah, for sure. And that, I mean, I guess my brother would have had one probably from the 70s. So it may have still been a little bit legit. But yeah, in the 80s, they started literally watering them down, watering down the chemicals. Things, you know, became plastic. Like you didn't get glass test tubes and metal scales and stuff like that anymore. Like, you know, the old kits were...

just sort of smaller condensed versions of like the real deal. And that all changed. They just became cheaper, kind of like everything else. I think in 2001, there was a recall of a set called Professor Wacko's Exothermic Exuberance that had glycerin and potassium. What is that word? Permanganate? Yeah, okay, great. And that could cause things to catch on fire and spontaneously combust.

This particular kit had containers with removable lids, but they weren't labeled. So kids were mislabeling things or just getting them confused basically because there were no labels and there were two separate house fire incidents. So that one was recalled and that was, I mean, that was in the early 2000s. It was surprising those were still around.

In other words, boring. This is the irony here. Despite that it had no chemicals, it had two kinds of safety goggles, the goggles and those little clear safety glasses made out of whatever they're made out of, the non-shat or something.
