Founded in 2010, the Museum of Recalled Products is dedicated to being the world's foremost museum for preserving this unique aspect of our consumer culture heritage. Upon entering the museum, step to the left and enter the Hall of Things that Unexpectedly Explode. Notice the circles painted on the
floor, illustrating the blast radii of various recalled devices. Next, step into the Hall of Recalled Children's Toys, made possible by a generous donation from halfbaker 8th of 7*. Be amazed at the sharp-edged, lead-painted, choking hazards that were formerly on the shelves of retail stores. Then continue on through the museum, visiting the Automotive Recalls Room and various other exhibits. Before heading home, be sure to stop by the snack bar for a food-recall-themed bite. On Thursdays, receive 20% off a lunch box featuring a listeria hamburger, salmonella salad, and a carton of melamine milk.
* Unfortunately, due to state law, we had to ignore 8th's request that children be allowed to play with the toys.

See the snack shop where Ford's greatest flop is memorialized in a flaming pinto bean burrito. |

novel ideal, Just watched out for the recalled pool diving sticks... they were recalled for getting stuck in people's rectums... |
|

Will there be a gallery for "Stuff that should have been recalled, but wasn't" ? |
|
| |
Maybe it could be called the Ronco Gallery... |

Have the Board indicated how they might vote on our Alternative Petting Zoo proposal yet ? Some of the exhibits can only survive a limited time without being fed... |

Although the Board compliments you on your ability to get the crocodile to wear a bunny costume, they again feel bound by state regulations and must decline. |

And the Adventure Playground proposal ? |

I regret to inform you that the Board has asked to have your "Adventure Playground" sign removed from the electrical substation. But they do thank you for your enthusiastic support. |

Very very funny and, I think, bakeable. + Maybe 8th of 7 would
settle for a macabre wax museum in the children recall area.
(Thinks further). Wax victims in all departments might multiply
the draw of the whole museum and underscore the importance
of product safety. (swimswim and 8th of 7 are fun). |

Q-Tips before they were forced to put that cotton on the ends? |
|
| |
Maybe the Museum could also host an annual Darwin Awards presentation. |

Why not sample a bottle of heroin, the Bayer Pharmaceutical Company's ill fated cough medicine for children. |
