3. Harry Potter Nimbus 2000 Vibrating Broomstick. Modeled after Harry's first broom, Mattel's now discontinued battery-operated Nimbus 2000 featured a grooved stick and handle for kids who wanted to ride it around the house. The issue, it vibrated. Did you buy this toy?

4. Furby. Not banned because of the danger to kids, but to national security! In 1999, the National Security Agency banned Furbies from the premises on threat that they were recording classified information. I guess there was an epidemic of NSA employees bringing in Furby dolls? Do you remember these?
