Seen a documentry dispatches on channel 4 monday. (so many with digital tv will still be able to see it. it pointed out that whilst we all know kids swallow small items and poop them out.. strong magnets if more then one are swallowed which feature in many curretn toys in marticualr magnetix.. will attract to join up and punch straight through the intestinal wall doing similar damage to a gunshot wound yet are currently legal in uk shops. http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/dispatches/how+safe+are+your+christmas+toys/1185352 http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=640081 http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5548a3.htm how many parents have purchased any such toys? and it was not young kids doing this. also things like magnetic jewelley where a young teen may have magnetic nose studs or how about a magnetic tougue stud? one toy that poped up whas the magnetix contruction kit grod they put the magnets in balloons and tried to pull them apart,,, the balloos stretched to breaking point.. they actually showed the experiments and damage.. when you swallw a little bit of plastic thats round it macy go though the system.. thing is as they were magnets they were attracted hard to each other and these are strong magnets,,, hence the problem they are pulling together moving guts out of allinement then ripping through like bullets

I heard about this from a friendanother case of uk being lax in banning something when the evidence is clear in the us
