Seeing another post about aunt Jemima products that were discounted due to racial stereotypes I was curious what's the worst product-fuckuo you have seen?

In Sweden we have a chocolate pastry ball that was called negerboll which translates to negro ball. Early 2000s it was deemed that it was not ok and it changed name to chocolate ball.

Radium or Cocaine in soft drinks.

Pretty much anything radioactive; it was a big fad for a while. Then everybody realized that radiation was bad actually, so maybe your kids geology set shouldn't include uranium.
