The Wolverine claws featured in the video are extremely sharp weapons that can easily pierce objects like a watermelon. Unlike the retractable claws in the movies (which would be classified as switchblades and illegal in some US states), these appear to be fixed blades. The host emphasizes they "should be illegal" due to their dangerous sharpness and lack of practical purpose beyond cosplay or novelty. Their ability to cause harm makes them a concerning product that raises questions about safety regulations for novelty weapons inspired by fictional characters.

Why was the toy stethoscope sold on Amazon considered illegal?

The toy stethoscope sold on Amazon was deemed illegal because it contained 70% lead, making it extremely hazardous, especially for children. This dangerous composition came to light when a parent reported that her child became very sick after using the toy. Lead exposure is particularly harmful to children's developing bodies and can cause serious health problems with even minimal contact. Product safety regulations explicitly prohibit such high concentrations of lead in children's toys due to the severe health risks they pose.
