Glo Worm
Template:Short descriptionTemplate:Infobox toy
Script error: No such module "about".Glo Worm is a stuffed toy for young children, designed by Hasbro's Playskool division, and made in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Introduced in 1982, the plush, pajamaed worm body[1] contained a battery-powered device that when squeezed would light up the toy's vinyl head from within, creating a soft glow.
The original toy, upon release, was such a success[1][2][3] that Hasbro released a new Musical Glo Worm and Glo Bug in 1984, and a Glo Butterfly in 1985. A series of story books, night lights, videos and other merchandise was also produced until the early 1990s. However, in late 2005, the product was criticized for harming children;[4] its plastic head was softened with phthalates, which can be dangerous if swallowed by children.[5] The Glo Worm is still made today, although with an updated appearance.
Glo Friends
Playskool expanded its brand of "Glo" toys made of soft vinyl that glowed,[6] and released The Glo Friends animated series in 1986.
American fast food chain Wendy's released a series of Glo Friends soft vinyl toys as a promotion in 1989.
In collaboration with Playskool, toy company PlayMonster expanded the Glo Friends with Wigglebug in 2022.[7]
