Louisiana Family Lives in America's Most Dangerous Household

Lafayette, LA  |  The grim reaper just might be afraid to knock on this family's door. He'd probably end up in the obituaries himself.

Over the years, the Janssen family has managed to furnish their home wall to wall exclusively with hazardous products.

From Mrs. Janssen's Admiral gas clothes dryers to her 6 year old's Zenital bike training wheels, everything inside their house - and outside - is on a list of recalled or banned merchandise.

Expired food in the Kenmore refrigerator, Procter & Gamble super absorbent tampons in the closet, and a bathtub containing a Wiggly Giggler, Gerry Splash baby seat and a Sassy Scoop Pour 'N Squirt - all things that would give any reasonable person nightmares.

Recently layed-off father Tony, a chronic mental patient, explains, "We find cheap stuff at yard sales, swap meets, on the internet. Hell, I even get some of it at the city dump. A bargain is a bargain!"

He proudly points to the 1973 Ford Pinto in the driveway, complete with four Firestone AT-series tires. "We wanted a Corvair, but they're really hard to find."
