these things get sold at markets and stuff too so it would be hard to advise those people about the recall. i have seen the cheap ones with the flash lights and break open the moment that they are dropped on the ground.

Very worrying, thank you for the update.

Hopefully this particular brand is only sold by Groupon.
They are originally designed for disabled children who has sensory problems.

No fidget spinners in our home – glad there has been a recall – good notice for the community.

Clearly we need to change how things are tested before they are sold!

There are so many things being recalled that can cause serious harm to children. Why aren’t they properly checked before being released. It’s scary

I’m sure fidget spinners will die in the dust soon, just like loom bands did

  I believe it is a phase too!

I think the craze that is fidget spinners will fizz out very quickly. The momentum built quickly, but I think the reality of the dangers and issues associated, mean it will die a quick death.

If the battery can fall off, it looks really scary indeed!!

This is very scary. If a small child swallows a battery, the consequences can be fatal. How do these products enter the marketplace?
