Dangerous Things[1] is an American cybernetic microchip biohacking implant retailer formed in 2013 by Amal Graafstra,[2] following a crowdfunding campaign.[3] The company is based in Seattle, Washington.

Dangerous Things produced the first personal publicly available implantable NFC-compliant transponder marketed for use in humans for radio-frequency identification (RFID) in 2013.[4] The product kit contains a sterile injector assembly that is pre-loaded with the chip implant, along with antiseptic wipes, a gauze pad and bandage, and gloves for use when injecting the device.[5] However, the company warns that the product kit "definitely contains dangerous things" and has "not been certified by any government regulatory agency for implantation or use inside the human body", so that its use is "strictly at your own risk".[5] Also offered is an implant that contains an LED that lights up when the RFID chip is scanned.[6] Related products, such as a numbing gel, pain management kit, large-gauge needles, and scalpels have also been offered by the company.[7]

In September 2020, Dangerous Things began another crowdfunding campaign to realize the world's first titanium-encased fully bio-compatible sensing magnet,[clarification needed] named the Titan. As of January 2026, the company also offers a wearable ring with RFID capability.[8]
