Fidget spinners are ass fucking movieseverywhereand there's no denying the mesmerizing toys are getting pretty freaking annoying, but please stop acting like these palm-sized pieces of plastic are evil menaces to society.
As the spinners have grown in popularity over the past few weeks, invading schools and homes worldwide, parents, teachers, and even safety-centric organizations have expressed grave concerns, claiming the toys are harmful distraction and potentially dangerous choking hazards.
The controversy surrounding the spinners is no joke; but newsflash, people — fidget spinners are no more dangerous than other fad toys youths have obsessed over in the past.
SEE ALSO: What's a fidget spinner? A look at the gadget people can't stop talking aboutRecently, World Against Toys Causing Harm (W.A.T.C.H.) — a non-profit organization that seeks to warn people about dangerous children's products — made the decision to include spinners in its Summer 2017 List of Potential Safety Concerns. In a press release, W.A.T.C.H. explained that "while exciting and intriguing to children," fidget spinners "have the potential to lead to tragic or deadly consequences."
Several cases of children swallowing small parts of fidget spinners havebeen reported, but that doesn't make fidget spinners malicious enemies — they're just another fad toy. In fact, when you think about some of the wacky fad toys people have become obsessed with over the year, many of them are far more dangerous than fidget spinners.
If you reallywant to talk about danger, take a gander at these nostalgic death traps:
Talk about a choking hazard! Not only are marbles small, but they have the ability to roll right down your throat. That can't be good for your insides. And (we're sorry but it needs to be said) since you can swallow them whole you'll probably have no choice but to poop them out — a terrifying thought indeed.
Paddle balls are the real threat to the humankind. A wooden paddle, a ball, an elastic string? that children are then asked to wag around in the air? Recipe for disaster. Forget the fact that children can smack themselves in the face while bouncing the ball in front of them —the string can also break, sending that thing flying. No person or flower vase within sight of a paddle ball is safe.
The entire premise of these "fun" and fashionable bracelets encourages people to slap themselves. Our question: Why? Why is this necessary? Do not be fooled by the beautiful patterns that resemble large band-aids. Toys are supposed to be fun, not painful.
We have just two words: Take. Cover.
Kids love throwing rocks, do they not? Despite its relatively dull resting state, Pet Rocks can't be thatsafe.
More like Trip-It, am I right? Many adults are stillprobably recovering from their Skip-It battle wounds.
Okay so these weren't technicallydangerous, but they were terrifying. Fear of these hamster-owl hybrid creatures could definitely keep children up at night, and sleep deprivation has a whole bunch of negative side-effects.
Very real dangers: Ability to trap or burn children's fingers, potentially leading to amputation? Check. Seriously, who said lets give children's a working oven as a toy?
TBH, Nerf anything is cause for concern.
Yes, lets give children the ability to pelt marshmallows into each other's mouths using a gun. Nothing dangerous about that. No potential choking hazards here ... 😳
Um, yeah. They catch on fire and have proven to be deadly. Hoverboards are also being included in W.A.T.C.H.'s 2017 List of Summer Safety Concerns.
Like any fad toy, be sure to exercise necessary caution while spinning — but don't be so hardon fidget spinners, okay? They'll be forgotten and abandoned by their owners soon enough.
