The mother of all potential lawsuits was that stupid balancing board set
atop a can laid on its side. No telling how many Christmas morning were
ruined by that thing......

I have two words for you...

Chemistry sets

Sure, in the lab you need a coat, goggles, gloves, mask, venting hood,
fire doors, and goodness knows what else, but with a home chemistry
set, all you need is a bunch of alcohol to fire up the alcohol lamp
and you're in business! (I remember melting sulfer in a test tube,
then putting in some water, and watching a sulfer chunk rocket out and
hit the aluminum patio cover...)
