Have you thought of some of the things, once commonplace things now known to be a menace? I will skip drugs or materials such as asbestos, too many of those. Examples:
Radium watches
Carbon Tetrachloride cleaners
Shoe Store fluoroscopes
Lawn Darts

Okay, here I have to say a Ford n-series tractor (1939-1952). A lot of people, both in the tractors' early days and even now, have have died or been seriously hurt misusing these almost indestructible tractors.
