ORLANDO -- Some doctors say one of the hottest new fads for kids may actually come with a hidden danger.
The warning involves Silly Bandz, colorful rubber bands molded into different shapes -- like animals and cars -- that kids wear on their arms.
Some kids wear dozens of Silly Bandz at a time, but doctors said they have been seeing cases where children are wearing too many, and cutting off the flow of blood to their hands.
Doctors said wearing a few of the bands are fine, but added kids should remember to take them off when they go to bed.
