"The Jazz" - I think you missed what I was referring to as "fun" toys. Daval mentioned the missing playground equipment and the signs that said "no running" around a playground. I wasn't referring to the items you mentioned, but I can see by the ages of your children that you are a lot younger than I (my baby just turned 27), so we are talking about very different toys here. I agree that there is a need for manufacturers to meet standards, it is the simple things that I miss.
I worked for a utility company for many years, and we made tire playgrounds using old utility poles. There are none of the playgrounds left. Why? Children fell off of swings or climbing poles, and were hurt, so the equipment was removed due to a liability issue. That is what I was referring to as a trivial lawsuit (yes, schools were sued because a child fell off a swing and was hurt).
