Glo Worm was 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 contained a battery-powered device that, when squeezed, would light up the toy's vinyl bottom from within, creating a soft glow while playing a soothing lullaby.
The original toy was such a success and Hasbro released a series of story books, night lights, videos and other merchandise that continued until the early 1990s.
In late 2005 the product was criticized for harming children; its plastic head was softened with phthalates, which can be dangerous if swallowed by children.
