50 Epic Children’s Product Design Fails That Are So Bad, It’s Hard To Believe They Actually Happened
A general principle in product and package design is to never underestimate users’ stupidity. This should be even more true when designing product labels for children, and yet people manage to release some really poorly thought-out child product label fails like the ones on this list.
Some of the fails might be funny, but others are downright dangerous. The wrong product, label, or packaging design may prompt impressionable and inexperienced youngsters to use products in unsuitable ways or to even ingest products that can be harmful. If you’re a budding designer, this list can be a good list of things you shouldn’t do!

Accidentally Sent My Son To School With His Newly Bought Ugly Christmas Sweater
Didn't realize what Santa was doing until his kindergarten teacher pointed it out when I picked him up after school.
Now you know why you should never eat yellow snow.
Load More Replies...I work at a company that makes clothing for all ages and I have to say the kid's part of it is the hardest. Because these artist come up with the ideas and we have to be the ones that look at it and say...um no that's going to get the kid in trouble. Which sucks because you know it's funny and the parents will buy it but in our society today no one can take a joke. This sweater is hilarious by the way!
According to his smile, the kid knew perfectly what it was from the beginning.
The kindergarten teacher had something to say about that? I sent a few times both my children to kindergarten with Iron Maiden shirts... Nobody had a single word to say and I even had a conversation about music with a mother.
I imagine the kindergarten teacher just found it funny.

When it comes to children’s product design fails, however, there’s another group that like to get in on the critiques - parents. Children are a highly vulnerable segment of society, so a poorly designed product or package has the potential to drive a child to accidentally harm themselves.

For one thing, a single product and package has to appeal to two very different people - a child and their parent. The package and product have to promise to be fun while also convincing the parent that the product in question is safe, high-quality, entertaining, and, if applicable, developmentally helpful.

Yummy Drink With A Trip To The Hospital
And that's why there are laws here in Europe that prohibit putting non-edible drinks into such containers
But I bought a bottle very similar to this one filled with bubble solution. Ok, the bubble solution isn't really poisonous and tastes like soap, but still
Load More Replies...My children won't drink that if placed on a table... but I probably would.
Oh it's for bubble bath, right? Yeah I would've straight up drunken that.
You can see the bubble wand that's likely attached to the screw cap. So *hopefully* the kid would realise something was wrong when they unscrewed the lid and saw that attached. Still kinda bad design though.
Probably won't send you to the hospital. DEFINITELY will send you to the toilet. OP still wouldn't have stopped s******g by now.
To be fair I doubt kids would take more than a sip of this considering how this stuff tastes but it's still a bad idea
I wanna agree but kids go to the hospital for drinking bleach and I don't recall ever hearing of bleach that tastes good nor doesn't burn. Kids do dumb things. 🤷🏾♀️

I'm Not Sure If This Is A Thing That You Should Give Kids
Start the kids sniffing glue early. Who on Earth came up with this :(
When my parents were kids, there was a glue called "Pelikanol", made by Pelikan, that smelled like marcipane. All their classmates, and them, tried eating it. Seems it didn't unalive them, so maybe it was non-poisonous ... or ... anyway and whatever - what even is the point of such things smelling delicious?
Yup. I had this at school, in the first grade. Smelled gorgeous!! We loved it. But have never ever heard of someone eating it. It was glue, so the thought didn't enter our heads because... glue! Made gluing stuff much nicer though!
Load More Replies...You can find plenty of such still available online. check here https://amzn.to/43Bwwxb
Of course, as we can see from the crazy design fails in this list, another key concern is clarity of purpose. Too many of the products on this list fail in this key aspect. Inedible or even toxic materials scented as food shouldn’t be making it into children’s hands - moreso if the products are also food-shaped.

Load More Replies...Right near the valve you can see where it says "Made in China". I wonder what they thought about making a globe they weren't on...
Is actually their strategy so that nobody in US knows where China is...
Load More Replies...Accurate really, considering how many Americans think the US is the world.
That's because America is so expensive that we can't afford to travel anywhere. So, we imagine all the world's beauty here. There are many cultures and foods from the world so it helps with the fantasy.
Load More Replies...But still went through the trouble of labeling latitude and longitude lines?
If you look closely you can see a corner of Russia next to Alaska. The printing process uses two plates, and two of the same plate have been loaded into the press resulting in both sides of the ball being North America. Somewhere there is likely a ball which is Eurasia/Africa on both sides, presuming the employee made the same mistake twice.

Load More Replies...Well, they will have an uncomfortable minute in their life. Not much more, actually. Chalk is non toxic unless eaten in big quantities.
*ANYTHING* with small parts or that can be easily broken into small parts by an under 3 year old is considered a choking hazard. It is safe, when used by the proper age group.

we had something like this at my middle school. There was the normal recess area, which was mainly just grass and then a huge concrete area with three basket ball hoops, it's also where the door were. Then there was a gate that lead into the parking lot, and in the driveway area loop where you could enter an exit there was like five Foursquare boxes painted on the ground. The sidewalk was next to them closer to the cars and it was a step up. We weren't allowed to stand on it. Sometimes cars would come through, and the teachers watching would have to blow their whistles and we would all run up to the sidewalk step up towards the school. I hope this makes sense lmao

This Highlighter I Caught My Kindergartner Trying To Eat Because He “Bought Bubble Gum At The Book Fair”
To be fair, A) kindergartners generally can't read works like "highlighter", B) why does her 5yo have money to spend without any supervision?

All Toilets Must Be Centered In The Middle Of The Classroom So Kids Eating Their Snacks Three Feet Away Can Bare Witness To Their Classmates Defecating
Never, ever have I heard or seen anything like that before. How on Earth is that sanitary?
Not to mention the lack of privacy. I’m 62, and my first and second grade classrooms all had a bathroom with a door that shut for privacy. Third grade on up had separate girls and boys bathrooms, set up just like public bathrooms, in the hallways. Though we could sometimes hear classmates singing while doing their business, they at least weren’t on full view of the whole class. I know the parents of kids at this school cannot be happy about this.
Load More Replies...This happens when you don't have enough staff to have one free to supervise toilets/deal with potties. This should not be the solution, but it is better than having to leave the kids unsupervised every time one has an 'accident' or needs help wiping
Even when I was in reception class (4 years old) we were trusted to walk down the corridor to the toilet. This is just bizarre.
Load More Replies...This would be for very young kids who are being potty trained. Seconds count, between the time a kid realizes they have to go, to dealing with clothing, getting a teacher, dealing with doors. And privacy isn't quite so much an issue-- the little kids can't see over the walls and the teachers are probably helping anyway. I'm not saying it's a good setup. It's probably unhygienic. But for a very particular age, I can see some logic in it.
Those kids look a tad bit older than potty training toddlers. At least in the US, most pre-ks won't even let kids attend if they aren't potty trained.
Load More Replies...This is the kind of toilet I find in my dreams when my bladder is trying to tell me to get up.

Perfect For Kids To Learn To Tell The Time
Analog clocks, cursive, how to physically mail a letter/card, am I missing anything else?
I find analogue clocks much easier to judge time intervals with, seeing 19:43 just doesn’t have the same urgency as seeing the big hand nearly at a quarter to 8 for me. Hard to explain, a digital clock is just numbers to me, analogue gives a more complete picture somehow.
When you see the time approaching faster than you anticipated, it makes a difference to see it as that thinning space between 11.11 and 12
Load More Replies...Obviously, this isn't meant for kids to learn with. What's it doing on this list?
We taught my son at home. He reads analog fine and even wears analog watch. He turned 12 this year.
Yep, my step daughter is 23 yo and doesn't understand what 2:45 means. If you tell her quarter to3 she gets it but not 2:45.
Don't worry. Most of them can't understand analog time anyway. They can't read cursive either.

Yes, Let’s Put An Image Of A Puppy On A Soccer Ball And Tell Little Kids To Kick It
My daughter was given a Jibba Jabba as a little girl. It was a bizarre little doll-like thing. When you shook its head violently it made a weird, garbled sound.

this is why i wear boy clothes most of the time they are always more comfy. like rn im wearing a hogwarts hoodie that i bought from a guy at school, or i also got a pair of cargo pants that i found in the boys section. i love both of them!
Load More Replies...Omg I have pj pants that totally fooled me with a sneaky trick drawstring. I mean, WHY????
I have no idea and it's so annoying. We got some pj pants for me and they had a fake drawstring when they arrived. My mom was annoyed for me and sewed in an actual adjustable drawstring. I'm sure there's a tutorial somewhere

SUCH LIES AND BETRAYAL I have some pants like that oh the lies of girls clothing first fake pockets and now fake drawstrings, good thing my mom is good with a sewing machine
most kids clothes don't have functioning drawstrings. most times the package will let you know with "WORKING DRAWSTRINGS!!!!" if they do indeed work.

The sharpener is held on by a removable cap so it can be taken off, used and put back. Not that hard to figure out.

This Giraffe On My Son's Valentine's Envelope
My Kid Had Some Issues Using This Slide
I’d almost say it was installed upside down, because what’s as bottom looks like a level staring place. But there are “rails” up to to keep kids from falling off up there, and to push off from, so that appears to actually be the top. My only guess is that this was f****d up in the factory—-made either on a Friday afternoon or a Monday morning, as the old joke goes—-and sent out for sale, when Quality Control should’ve flagged it as flawed, and had it melted down and started over.
Sorry but this one doesnt fit here. Both slides go in different directions with different access points.
No the ladder to the front slide is under the slide, thus making getting on the slide impossible.
Load More Replies...I had the breath knocked out of me on a slide like this as a child. It scared the c**p out of me when I couldn't breathe.

Huh, that was never brought up when I was doing my teaching degree but it makes sense. I think I would make sure the nonsense words were on a different list to the real words though to avoid confusion.

Are these the bath tablets that turn into sponges??? I loved those as a kid! Always picked dinosaurs.
those are not for children, it's one of those "funny gifts" for adults. I have seen them with different "cures", like shut-up-pill, anti-boring-work, anti-aggression, instant-holiday etc.
I don't think these are made for children; it is more likely a gag gift for adults. At the T€di (like a dollar shop) you can get a whole set of "fake medicine"; it is just chocolate or mint or sugary drops with more or less funny names on it...

The Way My Son's Alphabet Puzzle Has The Knob Placed Directly Over Each Letter
A little kid won't necessarily know the shapes of the letters they're being taught when they play with this. Why couldn't they just paint them larger so it would be easier for the little ones?
I think the problem is that the child can't see the letters while holding the pieces. Not really anything wrong with it though
My Friend Got This For My Son. She Had No Clue It's In The Shape Of Ohio
Me too and I've lived in CT for all of my 44 years
Load More Replies...I didn't realize that that's actually how you spell Connecticut. (I'm not from the US)
I had no idea there was that second C in there for years and years. I was doing a "name all the US states" quiz and my answer of "Conneticut" kept being rejected. I'm also not from the US.
Load More Replies...OP’s friend is a prime example of the All -American teach to the test education that has cheated students out of actually learning anything in school for the last couple decades. I’m 62, and all the way through public school, we had both Civics/Social Studies and Geography as part of our core curriculum. We learned how local, state, and federal governments functioned. We learned about current social issues. I still have an interest in politics and social issues. Any high school senior who had already turned 18 was also registered to vote right before they graduated high school. I wasn’t 18 yet when I graduated, but was registered once I hit 18 in my first year of college. In Geography class, we either had to draw maps of counties, states, or countries, complete with their capitols correctly placed in them, or we were given blank maps of states and/or countries, and had to correctly identify them—-no multiple choice, no list of names on the side to help us, just blanks to fill in. I may not be able to identify every single tiny country in the world, but I can ID states in the US, and the major countries on the globe. Government, social issues, and geography are skill sets the majority of graduating seniors—-and a hefty percentage of their parents—-do not possess. That is a real sad state of affairs, and one that a certain conservative-leaning party want to make even worse.
Yes, a strip of Ohio in the northeast is known as the Western Reserve of Connecticut. They simply extended the northern and southern borders of the state west, skipping Pennsylvania.

My Son Got An Artificial Coke Nail In His Christmas Cracker
I would assume that it's a claw toy, like those witch fingers for cheap halloween costumes. Only looks like a coke nail because it would only fit on the pinkie of an adult. Unless it actually officially said it was a coke nail, then someone probably took a cracker from the wrong box.
Whoever filled it misunderstood the term Christmas "cracker".
