ICU recalls fidget toys over safety concerns

ICU recalled all the fidget toys it distributed over the last year over concerns about chemical toxicity, asking students to dispose of them.

This includes all toys handed out at the Leadership Election stalls and ICU training, of which fewer than 100 were distributed in total.

The announcement was made in late March via ICU’s Instagram stories and a blog post after Amazon issued a recall notification for the product. ICU also emailed volunteers at Representative and Liberation and Community Network training. 

“Ahead of next year’s elections we have also reviewed our supplier choices and intend to move away from Amazon for stall items, both to reduce this kind of risk and to lower our environmental impact,” ICU said.
