No Product Safety Standards	comment	You've just made a new product! Why not test it yourself without a hazardous environment suit? Or better yet, put it into mass-production and release it to the public as soon as possible. Surely, nothing bad could come from something made on a budget. What Could Possibly Go Wrong? from a lack of clinical trials? That cancer you got ten years later is probably unrelated, not to mention the injuries of all those children who tried to play with it, or those dead military personnel who looked at it funny. While Moral Guardians may be outraged, don't expect Neglectful Precursors or a Crapsack World to care. Compare with Icarus Allusion, May Contain Evil, No OSHA Compliance, and My Little Panzer (where toys are proven to be exceptionally dangerous). Contrast Disastrous Demonstration: when a product's dangerous properties reveal themselves during a promotional event.

They discovered that the workplace is infested with roaches, they simply pick up meat that fell from the ground like it was nothing, and the kitchen is dirty and poorly cleaned.

No Product Safety Standards / int_169f043b	comment	StarCraft does this trope proud. Many of the Terrans' combat machines are out to passively or actively kill them. Most notable is the Viking, a versatile transforming fighter which claims so many of its pilots, that they are known as 'Cherries' until they survive one transformation.

No Product Safety Standards / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: Krusty the Clown will endorse any product as long as the price is right. This has made him a favorite among manufacturers who knows that their product is toxic, infected, explosive, higly flammable, unsafe in any other way, or simply not working right. Clearly, it's easier to get an endorsement from Krusty than to make a good (or even mediocre) product. And, those tourists were decapitated before they entered the Krustyland theme park's House of Knives.

Also worthy of note are the robots, which take Super-Powered Robot Meter Maid to absolutely insane levels; Mr. Handies, butler robots, come with circular saws and flamethrowers, while every model of Protectron could kill or maim people, even the ones with jobs like construction or paramedic.

No Product Safety Standards / int_87b55b5d	comment	The Onion has a few parodies of this, such as one video where a munitions manufacturer apologized for hollow-point rounds not exploding properly with animations showing the problem. Then there's the fact that early hollow-point designs were notorious for not expanding properly which is a problem if you're a cop and you don't want the bullet to kill innocent people behind the target.

No Product Safety Standards / int_90b916ba	comment	Batman: The Animated Series: Feat of Clay showed that this trope was important to the origin of Clayface, aka former actor Matt Hagan. After Hagan was in a car accident that left facial scars, he was invited to try a new facial cream that could help him remake his face however he wanted (allowing him to continue his acting career). What he was not told was that the cream had not been tested... Hagan was their first human test subject. Even after learning the potential side effects the cream can have on people (addiction after multiple uses, withdrawal symptoms if they stop using it, the fact that an overdose can turn someone into a sentient mound of clay, etc), they still intend to put the clearly hazardous product onto the market. While Clayface's methods of getting revenge are extreme, Batman clearly has no problem with letting Clayface expose the cream's toxicity on live TV.

No Product Safety Standards / int_99c003af	comment	In The Boondocks episode "Breaking Granddad", Huey creates a highly explosive gel solution, but doesn't tell Granddad that until after he discovers that it instantly grows out your hair overnight. They decide to sell the product to a distributor of hair care products. Huey has to object and insist on mentioning how a single spark would set off the explosive. The businesswoman laughs it off, pulling out a few of the products she already sells, one of which contains plutonium, and one of which is literally just acid. Slap a warning label on the jar and you're good to go.

No Product Safety Standards / int_b0fc9724	comment	In the classic Saturday Night Live sketch "Consumer Probe", Dan Akroyd plays a Corrupt Corporate Executive, Irwin Mainway, who is trying to persuade a TV reporter that his company's toys are fun and safe for children. The products include a teddy bear with a built-in functioning chainsaw and a bag of broken glass. More Hilarity Ensues when he then tries to 'prove' that regular, safe toys are actually extremely unsafe. He showed up in a later sketch hawking Halloween costumes, including "Johnny Human Torch"note A bag holding oily rags and a lighter, "The Invisible Pedestrian"note an all-black costume with ski-mask to be worn after dark, but DOES say "Not for blind kids!", and "Johnny Combat Action Costume"note a set of camouflage clothing with a working M-1 rifle - bullets not included. Allegedly popular in Texas and Detroit.. SNL also had Happy Fun Ball, a children's toy which is unsafe for pregnant women, the elderly and children under 10, may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds and contains a substance which should not be touched, inhaled or looked at. The sketch continues from there, listing increasingly bizarre hazards, including the trope-naming Do Not Taunt Happy Fun Ball.

Recordings in the second game show that employees were fired on the spot for even suggesting testing their contraptions for safety of use. Perhaps that's exactly the reason behind their ultimate commercial failure.
