Mother warns other parents of the danger of a fidget spinner after her son “almost lost his eye”




An Australian mother’s post has gone viral after she told of how her 11-yr-old son almost lost his eye when he was showing his mates some new tricks with the gadget.

The Fidget Spinner is the MOST HAVE gadget this month that has taken over the Western world for kids, and even adults.

The Australian mother called Molly told website Kidspot that her son Isaac “threw the spinner up a little higher and he didn’t manage to catch the spinner but it came down and clipped the corner of his eye and crunch.”

“He was very lucky not to lose his eyesight let alone his eyeball.” The boy was injured but thankfully should make a full recovery.

It was pointed out that the spinners are used only for hand-use and not meant to be thrown in the air or caught but nevertheless, the woman’s warning quickly went viral.
