The Fidget Spinner also has its dangers (homework).

Years ago they were the plates, the marbles and the cards. Then, those classic children's pastimes began to evolve into strange and entertaining objects until they reach what is now the fashion toy: the 'Fidget Spinner'. But this rotating tool is not just fun, it was originally created to help people with attention deficit and autism. This updated de-stressing spinning top is being sold and there is practically no child left who does not already have it. However, if used incorrectly it could become dangerous.

Since its appearance in the market, there have been cases of asphyxia in minors who had swallowed one of the three small pieces that form the 'Spinners'. As it is the case of Kelly Rose, the minor of Texas that had to be operated of urgency and whose mother denounced by Facebook the dangers of this new fashion. However, what has really made a number of English supermarkets remove the product from their stores, has less to do with both size and composition.

It is specifically those 'Fidget Spinners' that carry Led lights. And, as reported by the authorities of the English cities of Bath and Somerset, the batteries that make the object illuminate when turning are made of lithium, so that, if swallowed not only could cause suffocation but also internal bleeding .

But vetoing the new king of courtyards, classrooms and parks altogether does not seem the solution. On the contrary, various institutions have requested that the minimum age recommended for their use be greater than three years (which is the current one). They also claim that the toy bears a label that indicates the possible dangers because now it does not. In some schools, however, it has been decided to withdraw them. And not only to avoid risks, but so that children do not get distracted.

I wanted to talk about the example they gave in the original task because it seems surprising to me as a toy that was created in order to help children with mental problems, to train young people and de-stress people. It has caused so many accidents in its short time to market, even so, I do not think it needs to disappear to avoid more cases, instead we should promote in schools precautionary measures and educate a little more young people about the dangers and risks to health that we can get even in simple toys.

We should never deceive children and make them think that reality does not exist, they more than we should know that certain devices, toys and even other companions can tempt their lives, since innocence is the most deadly weapon that exists on the face from the earth.

Good post! just something similar happened to me a few days ago with a nephew.

What is worrying, lately, many accidents of this type are happening. We have to educate our children about the consequences of some toys.

GOOD POS BROTHER @SEQUINI WE MUST BE PENDING AT THE TIME OF PURCHASING TOYS TO OUR CHILDREN.

Exactly sister, @gensequini.

I never understood fidget spinners haha.. But yeah they don't look safe especially among children

Exactly, as it could be safe a solid object that manages to turn at such high speeds and so close to the fingers. @alvinauh

Not only students, I even found my friend played it when we enoyed coffee

Lately this toy is very accepted at the social level.
