Designing products, packaging and labels for children is extra tricky because they are a vulnerable part of our society. So when child product designers fail, they usually fail spectacularly.
Designs at their best can make your brand memorable through catchy slogans and imagery. At their worst, however, they can make people remember your company for all the wrong reasons. The subreddit “Crappy Design” is a great example of how designs can go so very wrong, and leave a bad mark on your name.

"Crappy Design" (previously here, here, and here) is back, and it's the crappiest pile of crap that has ever been crapped. Alright, maybe that was a little harsh, but after you take a look at some of these "accidents," you'll definitely wonder how on earth can anyone greenlight and produce them. Putting the light switch right next to the fire alarm control? Yep. Designing a toilet that looks like it has just endured a large dose of diarrhoea? You bet. Scroll down to check out some of the biggest design disasters and upvote your (least) favorite ones.
Have you ever used a restaurant bathroom where the stalls are made out of semi-transparent frosted glass? Perhaps you've bought a pool float only to discover that it bears an uncanny resemblance to a pantyliner? Or maybe you've bought a garden gnome salt shaker that looks suspiciously like a member of the Ku Klux Klan? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you've clearly fallen victim to bad designs. As you can see from this hilarious list, there's plenty more from where these epic fails came!
Creations you definitely have to see with your own eyes.

We've seen our share of crappy designs, but store shelves are so abundant with them, there's always more to poke fun at. For example, toys. They're usually designed and made by adults, so you'd expect a considerable amount of consideration before manufacturing them, right? Well, not so much. Bored Panda has collected some of the most questionable toy design fails to prove that some designers have no clue what they're doing.
