Funeral director shares toys she'll never let children play with after traumatic deaths

When it comes to keeping children safe, there's nobody better to listen to than a funeral director who has regrettably seen "too much" throughout their career. Mortician Lauren Taylor, from Florida, has revealed the toys she would never allow her children to play with after seeing them cause traumatic deaths.

Speaking on TikTok, she said: "I’m a scarred funeral director and we don’t allow fidget spinners in our home. I wish these things and the dangers of them were talked about more." She went on to explain how parts of a fidget spinner can easily fall off, landing your child in the hospital if ingested. "The pieces can become choking hazards. If your toddlers are anything like mind, it's not if it's going to break, it's when it's going to break," she added.
