What could be so hazardous about a floating eyeball?
Coppell-based company Gemmy Industries Corp. today announced it was recalling about 500 Floating Eyeballs toys. The Floating Eyeball contains kerosene, which, if broken, presents a serious chemical hazard to children.
Established in 1984, Gemmy Industries has developed such recognizable brands such as the Airblown Inflatables, SnowGlobes and Carousels, the Dancing Hamsters, The Frogz, and the unforgettable Big Mouth Billy Bass.

What kind of absolute idiots design toys with kerosene? Who are these people? Do they have IQs that even register on the scale?
