  1. Hurt, no treatment

    Made May 16, 2017, sent to the company Jun 28, 2017, published by CPSC Jul 20, 2017

    The product, in the report: This is a Stress Gear spinner. It is make with ballbearings and plastic. Kids spin it. It is used as a fidget for kids with attention issues. I did not save the packaging to have no model numbers or manufacture date. I bought 5 of these things and they all show tiny metal slivers inside the bearings. There is a some writing on the bearings part - Abec-9 and what looks like 608RS but these numbers are different on each spinner and they all have metal shards.

    I bought a Stress Gear spinner from Safeway. It is a fidget used by kids to help them focus. My son was using it and got a metal shard in his finger. I notice the metal bearings on this item have tiny pieces of metal that come loose when in use. This is an item meant for children and it has sharp metal flaking off it and going into their fingers. Somebody needs to be more careful about allowing companies to sell these things!!!!!!!
