In mid-June 2017, identical articles reported that a faddish toy, the fidget spinner, had became lodged in a woman's vagina: The articles are regional fake news items, adding to a long list of false tales of fidget spinner injuries. An immediate red flag is the identical verbiage in two separate locations (and countries), along with a lack of corroborating reports published by local media outlets. Neither of the sites reporting the purported incidents are genuine news outlets. Additionally, the likelihood of the same accident occurring in two far-flung places (not to mind the word-for-word resemblance in the articles) is extraordinarily slim.
