Dangerous toys
Common sense says that some things may be less then safe when not used in suitable applications. A small detachable piece, or a piece that can break off easily like a helmet could choke an infant.

The Product Safety Laboratory Method M01.1 push/pull test procedure specifies that a push or pull force of 44.5 newtons (10 pound-force) be gradually applied over a 5-second period and then maintained for 10 seconds. The procedure is completed on any part of a toy that is likely to become detached or damaged by the application of such a force. Following each push or pull the toy is inspected for relevant safety hazards such as detached small components, sharp points and sharp edges. More severe push/pull tests are mandatory in two instances:

for the eyes and noses of dolls, plush and other soft toys, a load of 9 kilograms (20 pounds) is suspended from the eye or nose for 5 minutes (see the “Other mechanical hazards” section of this guide). (Section 31 of the Toys Regulations)
for rattles a push/pull force of 50 newtons (11.2 pound-force) is applied (see the “Rattles” section of this guide).
