Yes, it would fly off in unpredictable directions.
So did the Water Wiggle. The difference being the Water Wiggle was attached to a hose and had multiple chances to chip the teeth of anyone standing within range.
We had one. We also had a Slip and Slide, Clackers, an erector set, science kits with chemicals that we used to make stuff as stinky as possible and Lincoln Logs which we whittled to a sharp point with the help of officially licensed Boy Scout knives. I also had a miniature cigarette lighter that cost me a nickle. It was filled with fluid. I had a brief career (very brief - one napkin) as an arsonist before it was confiscated by my father who said, "Where did you get that!?!" "The gum ball machine at Kinney's while Jack was getting his feet measured."

No kidding. At least half of what the OP wrote was unintelligible. Other than that, my response is "meh" to the list given. I'd say that any annoying electronic beeping/singing/noise-making baby toy is much worse than any of the toys mentioned.

Yeah, I mentioned that. Those good old drum sets. And of course, there are the simple cheap kazoos they give out at birthday parties. But those can be hidden/destroyed rather easily. Even the xylophones can get annoying.
As for dangerous toys, my sister had some plastic pre-tricycle thing that I pushed her around in. She was my little sister, six years my junior, so of course I hated her guts, and I had the nasty habit of pushing her way too fast in it. One time I took the fast pushing too far and she hit the ground face first, resulting in severe damage to her front teeth. She was only three years old at the time, so she had to have two teeth surgically pulled. I felt so guilty afterwards I made a pact never to hit her or hurt her again. The nice treatment from big sis lasted nearly a month
I was really temped to find that clip on Youtube and post a link. One of my favorite skits, except for maybe "Happy Fun-ball". "Do not taunt Happy Fun-ball....".
Eh, unless the kid is looking up bull fighting videos on Youtube, they're not going to really know much about it just by owning the barbie doll. I remember watching Looney Toon cartoons where Bugs Bunny was waving a red blanket at a bull. I never thought they were saluting bulls being killed. It was just a silly thing. When I went to the zoo on school field trips we would joke that anyone wearing red shouldn't get near the bull.
I choose the Furby. Ours would spontaneously start jabbering quietly to itself like it was summoning demonic forces. We no longer own a Furby.
We had some sort of talking balloon that did that!
