Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard 3M x 3M x 3M plastic box and stowed in a Safe Object Containment Cell. As it poses no real threat, tightly reinforced surveillance is of no need. In the event that a D-Class personnel refuses to return a SCP-XXXX instance, guards will be instructed to remove the item from the D-Class and administer standard disciplinary action. Any other containment breaches are to be resolved with as little conflict as possible, and if any other situation is to occur that may cause harm, those with level 3 Clearance are permitted to give immediate orders to nearby personnel in attempts to retrieve the instance in question. If any SCP-XXXX boxes or instances are spotted, all personnel are instructed to report the sighting and bring the instance(s) in question to a safe area until proper units come to take care of it.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a series of plastic tubes made of spring-like coils, each around 86 centimeters in length and about 13.4 centimeters in diameter. Test have shown that these tubes are made of non-anomalous substances and behave in all the ways standard commercial plastic should react. Otherwise, SCP-XXXX instances are fully inanimate and are incapable of causing harm directly, but regardless of this information, all personnel are instructed to treat instances of SCP-XXXX with care to avoid any unnecessary issues.
SCP-XXXX instances are capable of mentally affecting a human being who comes in physical contact with it. They produce a anomalous effect that prompt targets to play with it for extended periods of time, ranging from 5 minutes to 45 minutes on average, the record being 47.3 minutes. Subjects who are exposed to SCP-XXXX instances report being filled with "child-like euphoria" for the periods of time they are affected, but soon show a general disinterest in the object afterwards for a median of 72 hours.
Reports show that SCP-XXXX instances appear anomalously via shipping from an unknown location in a cardboard box taped shut with REDACTED brand packing tape. No money is deducted from any source, and postal services recall no such package existing. Tests have revealed that these boxes possess no further properties.
Foundation researchers are currently attempting to identify the origin of SCP-XXXX but to no avail.
Recovery Log: Employees working at a toy store in ██████, █████ reportedly received an anonymous package containing several SCP-XXXX instances and displayed confusion. It is assumed that after the employees had worn off from the original effect of SCP-XXXX, they decided to sell them as a byproduct of their callous state afterwards. The Foundation purchased all remaining instances of SCP-XXXX from the shop as well as confiscating it from consumers and administering amnestics.
Addendum XXXX-1: Requests from Dr. ██████ and ██████ to be given an instance of SCP-XXXX for an "epic sword fight" have been denied.
Addendum XXXX-2: Several D-Class personnel have sent requests to be subject to testing with SCP-XXXX for a second time approximately 72 hours after previous session. All requests have been denied.
Addendum XXXX-3: A D-Class has breached containment with an instance of SCP-XXXX and caused light injuries to a few Foundation personnel in a frenzied state of excitement. Therapy concludes that D-1831 had wanted a chance to relieve their stress from being thrown into boxes with "statues that can't tell the difference between humans and sticks."
Addendum XXXX: Dr. ████████'s request to change SCP-XXXX's classification to Euclid after the subsequent incident has been denied with the note: "You must be an idiot."
Addendum XXXX-5: Excess quantities of SCP-XXXX instances from future deliveries are permitted to be given to trusted personnel as a form of stress relief. If any damage is caused, the toy is to be confiscated immediately.
