“Boy needs 30 stitches after this toy explodes in his face – a dangerous trend!”

With this headline, the website “Heicht” pointed out a danger that we reported on weeks ago. Basically it's about the FIDGET SPINNER. The fidget spinner is a toy that was actually developed for children with concentration problems. It is clear that we get inquiries about such “headlines” because users are unsure whether they are the truth. Since we have already had this topic in our editorial team, we can at least confirm that “ILNAS”, the authority responsible for toy safety in Luxembourg, has already published two warnings on this topic.

The article describes that a boy from Flowood in Mississippi (USA) was playing with the Fifget Spinner and that various plastic parts of the toy hit the boy. So the story itself is probably real. We leave it up to the reader to decide how to evaluate the headline of Fierce!

The boy's father posted the following on Facebook on June 13, 2017:

Not the first time!

only at the beginning of June 2017 that “ILNAS” (the Luxembourg Institute for Standardization, Accreditation, Safety and Quality of Products and Services ), an authority responsible for the safety of toys, pointed out that “fidget spinners” are classified as toys and must therefore also meet all the requirements of EU legislation on toy safety.

“ILNAS” strongly advises consumers to be careful when purchasing such products. are now informing about the recall of fidget spinners from the importer Sodibel SAD “ILNAS” is recalling fidget spinners from SYMEX of the model SPIN COLOR LED CS5555 reference SYM 0024.

ILNAS recommends!

  • Only buy fidget spinners that are marked with the “CE MARK”.
  • Please check whether the address of the respective manufacturer is on the packaging
  • Please check whether “small parts” come loose. These could pose a choking hazard if swallowed by a child.
  • Follow safety instructions and warnings listed on the product.
  • Read the operating instructions included with the product.
  • Keep this toy out of the reach of small children.
