US warns of fidget spinner fire and choking hazards

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is advising people to avoid charging the toys, some of which are Bluetooth-enabled, overnight.

Children of all ages are also warned not to put fidget spinners of any kind in their mouths.

A recent BBC investigation discovered unsafe toys on sale in the UK.

Although intended for stress relief and popular with both children and adults, fidget spinners have also reportedly been the cause of accidents.
