Toys 'R' Us Must Pay $20.6 Million In 2006 Pool Slide Death
By Laura Northrup on October 20, 2011 9:30 AM

We enjoy mocking Banzai and their tendency to put wildly inaccurate photographs of their products on the boxes. But another wild inaccuracy led to tragedy in Massachusetts in 2006, when a 29-year-old mother went headfirst down an inflatable waterslide that collapsed. She broke her neck and later died as a result of the injuries. The jury deliberated for less than an hour before awarding her survivors $20.6 million—and they weren't even allowed to hear about the other person allegedly paralyzed by a similar injury while using the same product.

Caty wasn't trying to scam Toys 'R' Us out of fifty bucks. She saw an interesting promotion in the store's newspaper circular that required scanning a QR code in the ad and seeing what the "mystery deal" might be. She scanned the code, saw that it gave her a sweet deal on a game bundle, and headed over to the store. There she found empty shelves and employees who claimed that the deal had been a "mistake" and Caty had failed to follow a rule that wasn't on the newspaper circular. More »
Why Is A Toy Store Promoting An M-Rated Video Game?

Toys 'R' Us sells video games. A lot of games are decidedly toys for grown-ups, not for kids. One of these is the long-anticipated Duke Nukem Forever, which is promoted front and center in the store's advertising circular this week. Timely marketing, sure. But Omar asks: is it appropriate to promote this item so heavily at a store that devotes most of its floor space to items for children?More »
What Can This Babies R Us Coupon Actually Be Used For?
By Laura Northrup on May 6, 2011 9:00 AM

In the comments of yesterday's Lane Bryant post, reader DeadPlasmaCell shared this terrible coupon for Babies R Us. The list of excluded items includes, essentially, the entire inventory of a Babies R Us store. What's left? Clothes? It would be a nice coupon if it said "20% off any clothing item" instead (except for the excepted clothing lines) but that would be too simple and much, much too easy. More »
