Bungee ball
Bungee balls were toys marketed as a means of enhancing a person's hand–eye coordination.[1] At one end of an elastic bungee cord, the user slips their finger into a notch, and at the other end is an elastic hollow ball containing synthetic liquid. Throwing the ball thus causes it to return to one's hand.
Fashion and availability[edit]
Bungee balls were a fad in March 2003 and most bungee balls were sold during this time period[citation needed]. They were discontinued in many stores because often after about 4–7 hours of use, the bungee cord would snap, and the ball itself could also rupture, releasing synthetic liquid[citation needed]. Additionally, concerns developed that the cord could become wrapped around a child's neck while playing with it.[2] By October 2003[citation needed], nearly all bungee balls had vanished from retail stores, and are no longer sold.
