Worst Toy Ever

A talking toy puppy that teaches babies their ABCs has a bite toxic enough to make it the most dangerous toy on a watchdog group's annual holiday list.

The $23.99 Love to Play Puppy, made by Fisher-Price, was among 24 toys that the New York Public Research Interest Group has declared unsafe.

The Love to Play Puppy, bought at a Manhattan Toys "R" Us, contains bromine, a fire retardant that can affect the reproductive system and cause birth defects, as well as mercury, which affects the organs and nervous system, according to the group.

Forget the chemicals, the reason not to get this toy is that it's so fuckin annoying.

    Keep Darren, get rid of the toy. But you may want to see if the company or store (if you bought it yourself) will give you a refund.

    It was a gift, but I might try that. I checked out the list and was upset to find out that one of my favorite books, Big Rex and Friends, is also on there - it apparently contains lead. Boo!!
