From KQED in San Francisco, I'm Mina Kim. Coming up on forum, in the not-so-d-d-past

kids played with toys we'd probably never give them today. Searing hot metal

molds for melting noxious plastic goo. Giant darts that can come down with more than 20,000

pounds of force. A glass blowing kit? This hour, we remember the treacherous toys and games of old,

and look at how our definition of dangerous

has evolved over the years. And we want to hear from you. What's a dangerous toy you played with? Or

perhaps a safe toy you played with dangerously? Tell us after this news. This is Forum. I'm Mina Kim.

The parents, or grandparents, of kids today, played with toys so perilous they had to be banned.

Lawn darts, chemistry sets with real uranium, metal ovens that could reach 600 degrees.

These treacherous toys from a bygone era are on display at the Napa Valley Museum.

And joining me now to talk about how toys and our understanding of danger have changed over the years.

Museum director Laura Raffetti is with us, executive director of Napa Valley Museum, Yonfell,

which of course features the exhibit I just mentioned, dangerous games, treacherous toys we loved as kids.

Laura Raffody, thanks so much for being here.

Thanks for having me.

Also with us as KQED reporter, Chloe Veltman, who went to check out the exhibit recently.
