Oct 28, 2011 · 5 Answers. Sorted by: 14. The most obvious risk is swallowing parts, even though at that age it's probably less likely to happen. Magnets are the most dangerous, but LEGO has done a good job of hiding them recently. Projectiles are also a risk, whether they are intended as such or not.

Opens in a new tabSmall bricks are a theme on this list, due to the definition of pressure: force per unit area. In stepping on a LEGO, the force applied by our hypothetical stepping foot will be the same, so as the unit area gets smaller, the pressure, and therefore pain, increases. Laying on its base, this piece has three pressure points in the k...
Opens in a new tabThis may be the largest brick in the top 10, but if you get it resting on its two long edges like a tent, that top, as well as the six pegs and right-angle edges caused by the sides’ difference in length, could get past the toughest of callouses.
Opens in a new tabThe tall 2×2 brick has tremendous potential for pain from all sides, but if you catch it with the open face, and those two hinge-holding pegs, up, watch out. Those pegs may be the smallest bit of plastic on this list, and we could see them getting lost in the bloodstream of a careless stepper.
Opens in a new tabThe irregular shape of this brick spells disaster from every angle, but the two ends of that arch, if stepped on face up… honestly, we could see those piercing skin, no lie. It feels like there’s a decent chance of that happening with this piece if carelessly left out on the playroom floor.
Opens in a new tabThis facet brick is a sort of diagonal version of the standard 1×3 brick, and with its slant comes three peaks that wouldn’t be tear-free, especially if they found their way between your little toes.
Opens in a new tabLook at that vertical grip, like it was designed for the sole purpose of pinching the soft skin of your arch and leaving a blood blister that’ll alter your posture for a week. No thank you; get out of here.
Opens in a new tabAt first I thought it would be rare to find this piece standing with the prongs facing up, but then I realized that it’s a very bottom-heavy piece, meaning that I could see it in the pictured position at least 50 percent of the time. The prongs are basically three dull knives, which hurt more than sharp ones because they have to c...
Opens in a new tabVirtually no matter how this brick is positioned, there’s some sort of irregular or small surface aimed at the sky, and then at your poor feet. Sometimes it’s the most basic-looking pieces that’ll haunt you the most, and this appears to be one of those cases.
Opens in a new tabThis rocker bearing looks like something Sawvillain Jigsaw would make his victims cut their stomach open with to find a key embedded in their skin. It’s got plenty of edges, some pointed and some long and narrow, so it’s a real pick your poison scenario here (with a bonus poker in the middle of the bottom surface).
Opens in a new tabSimplicity is key, and it brought brick 1×1 w. 4 knobs all the way to the top. Every side is tiny and has potential for unbelievable trauma. It has pegs on all surfaces but one, yes, but the shape of this brick makes me think that if you stepped on it with any degree of forward movement, it would roll along with your foot, taking ...
