The product, in the report: Twin Gyroscopes set sold on-line by the Marbles The Brain Store http://www.marblesthebrainstore.com/gifts-for/twin-gyroscopes
BRIEF: Twin Gyroscopes fabricated by Tedco Manufacturing Co., and sold by Marbles The Brain Store ( see http://www.marblesthebrainstore.com/gifts-for/twin-gyroscopes ) have edges sharp enough to cut the skin.
INCIDENT: On or around April 15 I order the Twin Gyroscope set from Marbles; it arrived promptly, but only on the morning of April 29 I opened the box to have them ready for my 4 y.o. daughter when she came back in the afternoon from nursery school. These gyros have a two-ring metal frame that is split for assembly and adjustment of the gyro and, later, these ends are butt together (from the manufacturer’s description). What I did not realize in handling the gyros is that there are sharp edges in these butting ends and in junctions of the frame with the spinning axis of the rotor plate of the gyro. Some of the edges are sharp enough to cut skin deep enough to produce a light bleeding. Fortunately, it was my hand, and not my daughter’s, that got cut. I remembered tonight I had received an e-mail invitation from the Marbles store to post of a review on their site of my purchase of the Twin Gyros set, so I submitted a negative review warning potential buyers of what had happened to my hand. I have also e-mailed the store advising them of the review (and attaching a copy of it in case a website editor decided to trash it). I checked on the web and there are too many stores that sell these gyroscopes from Tedco for me to be warning all the stores to check the gyros they sell. It is more effective and practical to notify you. I have chosen not to return to the store the Twin Gyros set I bought in case you wish to examine them, and I would be glad to send to you if needed. I am a medical doctor and would be unethical not to try to avoid a child getting hurt by these (otherwise nice) toys.
