The product, in the report: Plastic spiral hair tie
Hello, my 4 year old child put a spiral plastic hair tie around his neck and nearly suffocated/strangled. I found him just in time and immediately removed it. However, his face was bright red. He was fully suffocating. If I had not found him I believe he would have died. I did not know or expect that these could be stretched enough to fit around a childs head. I dont believe that there was a warning on this product. There are many identical products to this one. I had no idea it was dangerous.
