Dangers Of Magnetic Toys

Watch this NBC news video featuring Cincinnati, Ohio physician Dr. Alan Oestreich and disturbing X-rays! This is a serious but relatively new and unknown problem: tiny powerful magnets falling out of Magnetix, Polly Pocket, etc. toys. If more than one magnet is swallowed or inhaled, or one magnet plus something metallic such as a metal ball, they can reconnect inside the abdomen from one portion of the intestine to another, choking off blood flow. A child tragically died from Magnetix magnets he swallowed, and literally dozens more age 0-11 have needed surgery.
