The European Union has brought spinners to the list of dangerous products

Popular toys-turntables were included in the list of goods dangerous for children's health. This is stated in the recently released report of the European Commission for 2017.

Because of which

The reason for entering the registry is small details that can be swallowed by children. For example, a swallowed button battery from a glowing spinner can cause burns to the esophagus and intestines, not to mention larger cells that can block the child's airways. It would seem that such toys are a dime a dozen, but it is the spinners who received special attention. The report says that they do not comply with EU security standards, moreover, the document recommends a ban on the sale of turntables.

It turned out that the spinners too often fell into the system of warning about the danger in 2017, having overtaken even the cars. That is, toys of this type were more often recognized as unsafe and withdrawn from sale. Most of the dangerous goods arrived in Europe from China and Hong Kong.
