German customs to crush 35 tonnes
Fidget Spinners
Berlin - Gulf News
It sounds like a dream come true for teachers, coaches, parents or anyone else who has had to deal with distracted kids playing with this year’s must-have toy, the fidget spinner.
Frankfurt airport customs authorities said Friday they confiscated 35 metric tonnes 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 spokeswoman Christine Strauss says they were also missing other required details, like legible instructions and information about which company produced the product.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
