Fidget Spinner: How dangerous is the new trend toy for children?

They are colorful, they spin like wild and they just make everyone crazy: Fidget Spinner, the latest trend toys, are causing a sensation. The function is simple: you hold it between two fingers, push it on and they turn. Very simple - and can not be dangerous, right?

First reports of serious injuries

It's not that easy: Fidget Spinners are not completely harmless. Parents in the net report that their children have pushed the metal ball bearings out of the holes and swallowed. The US is aware of a case in which a ten-year-old had swallowed such a metal part and had to be given emergency treatment.

The urgent appeal of affected parents: makes it clear to your children that they should not put Fidget Spinner in their mouths. Too big is the danger, especially with favorable versions, that the ball bearings loose and get into the throat.

Risk of injury to fingers

But finger spinners have not only small parts. Another mother reports that her child has pushed his finger into one of the openings . The finger was swollen and they did not get the spinner from the hand - only in the hospital could one have freed the clamped fingers.

How dangerous are finger spinners now?

These examples from the US show that Fidget Spinners are not completely harmless toys . However, this of course applies to almost all toys: children can also swallow at Legosteine or Playmobil parts.

Parents should be vigilant, but not panicky. A completely harmless toy are not the trend parts - but they are also no swirling risk in the children's room.
