Target is selling 'toxic' fidget spinners with potentially dangerous lead levels - http://www.businessinsider.com/target-fidget-spinners-potentially-dangerous-lead-2017-11

From what my mom heard on the news, Spot isn't taking any responsibility for the claim.

So, not only was Target late in getting in spinners to jump on this fad, but finally brought in ones with a high lead content. Way to go Spot!

They were recalled & sent back over a month ago.

Generally for recalls Target has them long gone before they are announced in the media ,I always presumed they didn't want people seeking out items
that might allow them to sue.

To be fair, these are $20 fidget spinners and weren't being purchased for young kids just bc of their price point.

Remember China is the country that put a plastic hardening agent in its own baby formula (to boost protein percentages). Think they really care what they export?

the recommended age is 14+

local news also showed a 5 year old who swallowed the guts of a fidget spinner.

lead level is fine for a 14+.

Don't forget pet food made with wheat gluten & tainted rice protein.

I like the argument that the 14+ age label doesn't mean anything because it's in the toy section, because Cards Against Humanity and What Do You Meme are in the toy section too, and those definitely aren't for kids.

There is another one recalled.
