Marsha Kay of the Cleveland Clinic, is one of the first to write an article for the public on steps to take if a child is suspected of swallowing a magnet. Īs early as 2004, medical professionals were warning the medical community about the dangers of "multiple magnet ingestion", but the case studies never made it into the popular press. If a child swallows more than one tiny powerful magnet detached from the plastic building pieces or one such magnet and a metallic object, the objects can attract to each other inside the intestines and cause perforations and/or blockage, which can be fatal, if not treated immediately." Redesigned Magnetix sets sold since March 31, 2006, that are age-labeled 6+, are not subject to the recall. At least 1,500 incidents of magnets separating from the building pieces have been reported. Emergency surgical intervention was needed in all but one case. "To date, CPSC and Mega Brands are aware of one death, one aspiration and 27 intestinal injuries. On April 19, 2007, the CPSC ordered further Magnetix recalls, recalling over 4 million sets. The triangles and squares identify the North-South polarity of one of their embedded magnets.
