'Spawned From the Darkest Depths of Hell': Toy Gets Caught in Hair

NEW YORK – A new toy is making parents want to yank their hair out in frustration. They've found that Bunchems can get tangled in kids' manes, forcing parents to literally pull — or cut — their children's hair in order to get them out.

The toy, designed by the Canadian company Spin Master, is intended to be used for building. The squishy, colorful, circular pieces have interlocking hooks which makes them stick together for building and for easy clean up. Bunchems even made Target's top list of toys for 2015.

Those same hooks make them prone to getting stuck in hair, and consumers have taken to the internet to warn others.

The reviews on Amazon are littered with complaints. One user called Bunchems "A Toy Spawned From the Darkest Depths of Hell," advising parents to "Buy this toy for someone if you hate them or their child."
