Quote A little boy died last Thanksgiving and many others have had life-saving surgery after swallowing magnets from MEGA Brands' Magnetix toys.


Thanks for the warning. My mom bought my dd a set for this year's Christmas. Then, I bought 2 sets to give to the Toys for Tots, if they don't have the warning on them, I'm putting one on myself.

BTW, they insert strong magnets in cows to attract any metal that they might swallow. My older dd's father works for Oscar Meyer and they take them out when they butcher the cows and he gave her a bunch once and told her the story. I've always thought that a very interesting story, if not disturbing.
