    Lets wrap all kids in cotton wool

    Boy BLINDED by loom band as doctors warn they're a health risk | Mail Online

    This sort of accident can happen with any toy. Anyone who thinks banning loom bans will prevent accidents needs a group of loom bands shaped like a giant dildo inserted up their rectum.

      Have you seen the state of some of the kids fingers when they use these bands ? They restrict the blood flow and the fingers go blue/purple. Daughters friend did this and was really lucky it wasnt more serious

        You're right BP (had to happen eventually). As crazes go, this one is great - cheap as chips and a contructive/crafty type thing. These kids are doing useful stuff for once, and learning about the effort/reward thing too.

            I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).

              Is that purchase price or current market value?

                Nothing new under the sun.

                We use to make bracelets out of elastic bands when I was a girl.

                The only difference was when our fingers, hands or wrists started to change colour due to lack of blood flow we removed them.

                Kids these days have no f***ing common-sense.
