The bushing from the spinner was lodged in Britton’s esophagus. Britton had to undergo endoscopic surgery to remove it.

Kelly’s warning is that the bushing pop out easily and it can be a danger to children under eight years.

Not all of the spinners that are available have age-appropriate warnings on the package. It is up to us as parents to be aware of this and let other people know!
