Kent County Parents Warned of Magnetic Toy Hazard

Kent County parents should remove "Grtard Magnet Stick Figure Men Toy Sets" from their homes immediately. The sets contain loose magnets that pose an ingestion hazard to children.

When children swallow high-powered magnets, the magnets can attract each other or metal objects inside the digestive system, causing them to become lodged. This can result in serious internal injuries requiring emergency surgery.

Pediatricians at Kent Hospital in Warwick advise parents to check toy boxes and play areas for the product and discard it. For product safety recalls, parents can visit the Consumer Product Safety Commission website.
