\"\"<\/a>Silly Bandz<\/strong> are silicone rubber bands with shapes that includes animals, objects and letters. The product is distributed by BCP <\/strong>Imports and are generally worn as bracelets and necklaces by middle school, elementary and even highschool students.<\/p>\n

The bandz come in dozen shapes, colors, and themes, and can also be used just like a regular rubber band. They can look like a regular bracelet on someone’s wrist, and goes back to its original shape when taken off.<\/p>\n

The Silly Bandz were developed in 2009 as they first started to gain popularity in the holiday season of that year. Although gained popularity, the bandz were banned in some school districts as causing distraction among most of the students.<\/p>\n

Though these bracelets seem to be cute, in a recent blog, a doctor had an opinion that the bracelets are considered to be “potentially” harmful to children if they are not careful.<\/p>\n

At just five <\/em>dollars for a pack, the kids are becoming obsessed with the toys. Competitions rise among the arise as students challenge each other of who can collect most.<\/p>\n

The toys may cause an accident, judging on the age of those who use them. The constricting <\/em>of the bracelet may cause vascular insufficiency, meaning that the blood flow is being altered in or by some external force, and in this case, the rubber bracelets.<\/p>\n

There are symptoms regarding the safety of the child if the bracelet needs to go off. If the skin and tissue has some significant indentation that is being caused by the bracelet and causes arm swelling, a change in the feeling of the child like numbness or tingling, color change, these are signs of the bands constricting and needs to be cut off immediately.<\/p>\n
