Are fidget spinners safe? Do plastic fidget spinners contain lead? Watch us test them live with an XRF and talk about safety concerns.
This video includes testing of:
Yellow plastic fidget spinner
Pink camouflage print plastic fidget spinner
American flag printer plastic fidget spinner
White plastic fidget spinner
Tamara's GoFundMe for her legal defense fund is gofundme.com/leadsafemama
After the initial discovery of lead in fidget spinners in May 2017, we asked moms from all over the country (and one mom from Canada) to send us fidget spinners to test and we got more than 70 spinners total! Instead of just publishing the results we are showing HOW we are testing them by filming it live.
To see written results of all spinners tested in this video, see: tamararubin.com/2017/06/e8

If you want to have YOUR fidget spinner tested for lead, check out information here about our next testing event: tamararubin.com/2017/06/testing-fidgets
For reference, the legal limit for lead in items intended for children is either 90 PPM or 100 PPM - depending on what part of the toy it is in. Anything above 100 PPM should be considered dangerous for your child.
