Jibber Jabber
The Jibba Jabber toy was meant to be a simple toy made of colorful material that would make a strange garbled sound when shaken. The problem was that with issues of shaken baby syndrome, parents were fearful that this toy was just teaching their impressionable young kids to do this to their newborn babies at home. It would seem that the toy maker knew that it was treading on a thin line though, as the toy actually came with an entire pamphlet to teach consumers the right way to use it. Pretty complicated for a toy that you just shake up and down, if you ask us. No wonder it didn’t sell in stores for too long.
