Fortunately the child was checked on  half an hour after going to bed and was found with purple/blue fingertips where the bands had cut off his circulation.

Another child was blinded in one eye when a band accidentally got flicked in his eye. The incident caused a blood clot – leaving him completely blind in his left eye – The boy is waiting for an operation to restore his sight.

Some schools have already banned them.

What do you think of the craze?
