A 10-year-old girl from Texas had a near-death experience after a toy, given to children to help with anxiety, lodged in her throat.
Horrified mother Kelly Rose Joniec recounted how her daughter Britton was nearly killed after swallowing a part from the propeller-shaped fidget spinner, the Daily Mail reports.
Britton was attempting to clean the metal toy when it happened, Kelly Rose revealed in a Facebook post.
She wrote: "On the way home from a fun swim meet, I heard Britton make an odd retching noise in the back seat as I was driving.
"Looking back in the mirror, I saw her face turning red and drool pouring from her mouth - she could utter noises but looked panicked so I immediately pulled over.
