Walmart Pulls “Suicide Scar” Halloween Costume Makeup Kit

Already this fall, several retailers have pulled Halloween decorations and costumes from their shelves and online stores because they were too dangerous, too creepy, or could be used to further a rash of suspicious incidents involving people dressed as clowns.

Getting Your iPhone Fixed Is Not An Invitation To Be Sexually Harassed

Sure, an employee might flirt with customers here and there, and maybe ask one out on occasion. When someone isn’t interested, though, it’s time to drop the matter.

This Baby Outfit Provides A Disturbing Vision Of The Future

This Baby Outfit Provides A Disturbing Vision Of The Future

Is “Someday I’ll get trashed at prom” an appropriate slogan for a baby t-shirt or onesie? How about “future cougar?” Sure, we at Consumerist like over-the-top humor as much as more than anyone, but can kids’ shirts go too far? Or does it matter all that much when the wearer can’t even talk yet, let alone read? That’s what Brian wonders about this outfit from Wry Baby available at Babies ‘R’ Us. [More]

7 Toys You Probably Shouldn't Buy

Look, we’re not going to sit here and pretend to know a lot about parenting. But unless Ambras syndrome runs in your family, we can’t imagine why you need to teach your 7-year-old how to shave a baby. The toy tattoo gun actually looks like a lot of fun, though.

Spirit Airlines Tries To Charge Cancellation Fees On Passengers It Put On Flight 1549

Update 3:10pm ET: the airline has said it won’t charge the men after all.
