Fidget Spinners - Inconvenient Truth
Modern, recent fidget spinners have proved to be potentially dangerous.
When inspections were carried out in many countries, 2/3 of all tested were dangerous concentrations of mercury and lead.
Excessive amounts of lead and mercury can lead to accumulation in the body and cause cancer.
Scientists consider 90 ppm of lead to be the safety threshold for children's toys.
Some of samples with painted metal base contained 334 ppm of lead and 155 ppm of mercury.
These with unpainted metal base test detected 1,562 ppm of mercury and 2,452 ppm of lead.
The most embarrassing thing is one of the most expensive models in the market fidget spinner contained an amazing value of 42,800 ppm of lead.
This post is not meant to frighten people, especially parents, who have already given this toy to their children, but pay attention

Good to know, thanks for sharing
Maybe safe Fidget Spinners will become available, since people are learning of these dangers.
This is not just a problem with these things. Many products out of china have a lot of impurities not removed from metals used in construction. There has been some really kooky things too, like water soluble polymers formed into 'rice', and I remember in Australia there was a big fuss about chinese toys with those beads that you add a solvent and they stick together, because the solvent was Gamma Butyrlactone, the precursor (and itself psychoactive) of GHB. A small amount of this stuff could put a child to sleep, forever.
Thats why I say everytime when someone speaks about "in what direction we are going on"... we are totally f@%ked and beyond the critical point from where there is no chance to "save the cheerleader"
and the cheerleader has been robbing, poisoning and generally profiting at our expense, so they don't deserve to survive. I for one welcome the impending extinction event, because I don't hitch my cart to their zombie horse.
