‘Perfect gift for that child you hate:’ Parents warn of popular toy ‘Bunchems’

NEW YORK — Parents are warning each other about a popular toy that’s wreaking havoc on their kids’ hair.

The New York Daily News reported that Bunchems are small, brightly colored balls with squishy spikes that allow them to be connected. The balls lock together to create shapes.

The toy’s Amazon.com description warns to “keep away from hair” because they may become entangled.

Parents took to Amazon’s comment section to sound off about what happened when the toy got stuck in kids’ hair.

The company released a video after a slew of complaints to show how to remove Bunchems from your hair.

Parents also posted photos to social media of their experiences with Bunchems and hair.
