Last week, a mother began a petition to ban "Breaking Bad" action figures from Toys R Us outlets as the toys were deemed to be a bad influence on children, reports Fox 4 News.

"Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston has since responded to the said petition with this tweet: "'Florida mom petitions against Toys 'R Us over Breaking Bad action figures.' I'm so mad, I'm burning my Florida Mom action figure in protest."

As a result of the hoopla surrounding the controversial toys, Toys R Us has pulled out the dolls in question.

It should be noted that these action figures are not the only playthings that have caused controversies. Some releases were even banned by the government in the past. Here are 5 of those:

Build-a-Bear Sully Sullivan

Was this toy banned by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2013 because it represented a monster? And that it had horns? Nope! Washington Examiner said the cuddly version of Sully Sullivan from "Monster's Inc." was pulled out due to his "detachable eyes, which can choke kids if they try to eat them."

Cabbage Patch Snacktime Kids Dolls

"The Snacktime Kids doll involved a motorized mouth mechanism that allowed the doll to 'eat' plastic foods," Listverse said. "Kids being kids, it didn't take much for fingers and hair to get trapped in those evil dolls' unforgiving maws." The dolls also didn't come with an on/off switch. Mattel eventually pulled out these playthings.

Sky Dancers

These looked like Barbie dolls, but with wings. Plus the ability to fly when the cord on its mechanical base was pulled, burlingamepezmuseum.com said. The problem was that the wings "flew rapidly in unpredictable directions, hitting users and causing temporary blindness, broken teeth, face lacerations, and one mild concussion."

Buckyballs

These "addictive" toys were marketed to adults, but were subjected to a ban because kids apparently ate the magnetic ball bearings. "When multiple magnets were swallowed, they had the nasty tendency to clamp together through intestinal walls and not let go. This could lead to tears in organs, blood poisoning, bowel blockages, and possible death," Listverse explained. Yikes.

Lawn Darts

According to Popular Mechanics, these were "a horseshoes-style backyard game in which players lob foot-long darts toward a circle." Released in 1988, it was banned not long after its release after reports of injuries and three deaths related to the use of the toys emerged.
