Why was Rollerblade Barbie recalled and banned by Mattel?
Rollerblade Barbie from the 90s was recalled and banned due to significant fire safety hazards. The doll's roller skates contained a cigarette lighter-like mechanism that produced sparks when pressed down and moved back and forth. This design posed serious fire risks as the sparks could easily ignite nearby cloth or other materials. Surprisingly, Mattel provided no safety warnings on the packaging about this dangerous feature, making it particularly concerning for children's use.
