Internet users recalled one of the most dangerous children's toys - a set for experiments with atomic energy.





"Children's laboratory of atomic energy" with radioactive uranium-238. The set was sold in the USA in the 50s

Inside a test tube with real uranium ore (as the authors assured, if the instructions were followed, there was no risk of radiation), a Geiger counter and other tools for "exciting experiments".



This thing was released thanks to the lack of strict safety standards for toys at the time, but due to fear of radiation and a very high price, sales failed miserably.
