FRANKFURT: Frankfurt airport customs authorities said they confiscated 35 metric tons of the tiny twirling gadgets in May alone and plan on crushing them out of existence.
They say they tested the toys, which came in multiple shipments from China, and found that bits could fall off and pose possible choking hazards for small children.
Customs officials at an airport in Frankfurt said children could potentially choke on pieces that might detach from the whirling contraptions, and that they planned to destroy the seized toys, according to the press.
