Mothers in Michigan and Alabama have shared similar stories of their bluetooth-enabled fidget spinners that double as speakers catching fire while charging. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says that they are investigating the incidents.



“Bluetooth-enabled fidget spinner” made me cringe as I was typing it. But I guess blowing off a finger would be a pretty quick cure for boredom.

Allums said the spinner had been charging for less than 45 minutes. When she tried to identify the manufacturer of the faulty spinner, the mother only found the words “Made in China” on the box it came in.
