I had some of these--Creepy Crawlers, Jarts, Vac-u-Form, Super-Elastic Bubble Plastic (still remember the smell of that stuff), the Mattel Fanner, a chemistry set (mine was Gilbert and I used it to make smoke bombs and stink bombs), Mr. Machine, the belt-buckle Derringer, the Super Ball, and my sister had an E-Z Bake oven (and boy, that puppy got hot).
The video ain't the greatest, the toys themselves weren't banned (other than Jarts), and some of the toys obviously are not from the Sixties but still, one of the reasons why our parents bought Bactine in 55-gallon drums.
