Launched in 1977 by Wham-O, the Fun Fountain consisted of a clown hat and head which attaches onto the end of a garden hose so that the hat rises in the air when water flows through the clown’s head. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued several recalls and replacements due to injury. Children often peered into the water outlet and the stream of water caused serious eye injuries, while the hard plastic hat fell on kids frequently and caused injury.
