The US Consumer Product Safety Commission released a statement last week.

“Like any battery-operated product, consumers should be present and pay attention to their devices while charging them,” it read.

“It is important to use the charging cable that either comes with the fidget spinner or one that has the correct connections for the device. Charging cables are NOT interchangeable.”
