January 2, 2026 – An LED Boomerang Ball toy, marketed for children ages 6+, is under scrutiny after a consumer reported that its intensely flashing multi-color lights caused immediate dizziness, visual overstimulation, and disorientation in two adults during brief exposure. The product, TESIMAI / Amerfist TSM006-B, lacks any photosensitivity or flashing light warnings on its packaging or instructions, raising concerns about potential neurological and visual risks, especially for children.
Product Details
Incident Overview
The incident occurred when a father purchased a TESIMAI / Amerfist TSM006-B LED Boomerang Ball from Amazon as a Christmas gift for his nephew. The product is marketed for children aged 6 and older. Before wrapping the gift, the consumer and his father decided to test the toy. Upon activation, the toy emitted extremely intense, rapidly flashing multi-color LED lights.
The consumer reported that there were no photosensitivity warnings or any cautions regarding flashing or strobe lighting effects anywhere on the product’s packaging or in its instructions. During only a brief period of exposure to the activated toy, both the consumer and his father immediately experienced symptoms including dizziness, visual overstimulation, disorientation, and head pressure.
The consumer noted that the lighting effect produced by the toy appeared much stronger and more rapidly modulated than what is typically observed in other LED toys, resulting in a pronounced strobing effect that caused noticeable physical symptoms in two adults. The packaging further encourages the use of the toy for night flight, which would predictably increase both its brightness and overall visual intensity.
Concerned that the toy caused such significant symptoms in adults during normal use, and considering it is sold for children without any relevant warnings, the consumer expressed strong apprehension that the product may pose a substantial safety risk. This risk is particularly elevated for children or individuals who may have undiagnosed photosensitivity, who could be at even greater risk for dizziness, migraines, or seizures due to the intense strobing effect. The consumer has requested that the CPSC investigate the product for potential safety hazards and labeling issues, and has retained the product, packaging, and proof of purchase for inspection.
Safety Concerns
The reported incident with the TESIMAI / Amerfist TSM006-B LED Boomerang Ball highlights several critical safety concerns:
- Immediate Dangers: The direct exposure to the toy’s intense, rapidly flashing lights caused immediate symptoms such as dizziness, visual overstimulation, disorientation, and head pressure in two adult individuals. These acute symptoms can impair balance, coordination, and cognitive function, potentially leading to falls or other accidents, especially in children who may be less aware of their own physical reactions.
- Long-Term Risks: For individuals with photosensitivity (whether diagnosed or undiagnosed), exposure to rapid flashing lights can trigger more severe neurological responses, including migraines, severe headaches, or even epileptic seizures. Children are particularly vulnerable due to their developing neurological systems and potentially lower thresholds for light-induced reactions. The absence of proper warnings on the product means consumers cannot make informed decisions to mitigate these risks or take necessary precautions.
- Who Might Be Affected: While the incident involved two adults, the product is marketed for children aged 6+. This means children are the primary target users and are directly exposed to these potential hazards. Individuals with pre-existing conditions like photosensitive epilepsy or a history of migraines are at a significantly higher risk, but even healthy individuals, as demonstrated by the reporting adults, can experience adverse effects.
- Property Damage Potential: Based on the incident report, there is no indication of property damage. The primary hazard identified is personal injury.
What Consumers Should Do
If you own the TESIMAI / Amerfist TSM006-B LED Boomerang Ball, or any similar toy exhibiting intense, rapid flashing lights without adequate warnings, please take the following actions:
- Immediate Steps: Cease all use of the TESIMAI / Amerfist TSM006-B LED Boomerang Ball immediately. Do not allow children or any individual, especially those with photosensitivity, to play with this toy.
- Check if You Own the Affected Product: Verify if you have the TESIMAI / Amerfist TSM006-B LED Boomerang Ball. The model number should be visible on the packaging or the product itself.
- Prevention Measures: Always exercise caution with toys that produce intense or rapidly flashing lights, particularly for children. If a toy causes any discomfort, dizziness, or other adverse symptoms, discontinue use immediately. Prioritize toys with clear safety warnings and appropriate age recommendations.
- Reporting Procedures: If you or someone you know has experienced adverse symptoms or an incident involving this product or a similar item, please report it to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at www.cpsc.gov/incidentreport. It is advisable to retain the product, its packaging, and proof of purchase, as these may be necessary for investigation.
