A small squishy toy caused chaos among customers of a north suburban toy store on one recent Saturday.

"When I got here at 8:30am, I was bombarded by 200 people outside," Lisa Smith said, the owner of the Northbrook toy store. "People accused others of line cutting, video recording, threatening each other and I honestly didn't know what to do."

On April 11, everyone was outside Parkway Presents for one reason: to get their hands on the newest NeeDoh toy released that day. For Smith and her employees, what they faced that day was the final straw.
