Fidget spinners are driving many people crazy, but one Texas woman is warning about her daughter's dangerous experience.

Kelly Rose Joniec of Houston wrote in a Facebook post that she was on her way home Saturday afternoon when she heard Britton, her 10-year-old daughter, choking in the back seat. She pulled over and discovered that her daughter had swallowed one of the bearings from her fidget spinner. After trying to dislodge the small piece of metal with the Heimlich maneuver, Joniec took Britton to the nearest urgent care center.

Doctors were unable to tell where the object had gotten stuck. It wasn't until after an ambulance ride to Texas Children's Hospital that an X-ray revealed the round metal bearing in the girl's esophagus.

In the post, Joniec wrote, "Britton was taken to surgery to endoscopically locate and remove the object. Fortunately we had a positive outcome, but it was pretty scary there for a while...not only because of the initial ingestion, but then the concern about the composition and structure of the object, and finally, the risk with general anesthesia."

haha wtf wow!

Love the idea, but not sure about how the fidget spinners are being constructed! I have heard a few stories like this.

Parents, we have to be the first line of defense for our children. And we need to teach them how to use everyday objects, even the new, trendy ones in the proper manner.

I am preaching to myself on this one.
