MEGA magnet toys recalled because fears of children swallowing them

In the UK over 300,000 magnet toys are being recalled because there are fears that children could possible swallow them, the toys have magnets attached to them which could be dangerous.

Mega Brands the Canadian firm have said that around 2.4 million of the Chinese-made action figures had been withdrawn from sale worldwide and the production of MagnaMan and Magtastik toys have been stopped following these safety concerns.

So far a three year old boy need medical treatment to remove a magnet from his nasal cavity and even an 18 month old boy had a magnet in his mouth, luckily enough the boy did not swallow it.

Just so you know there has been no incidents in the UK but have had reports of the magnets on the toys coming loose so it is just as well they are recalling them.
