-
When I was young
-
The first time I touched a magnet, I couldn't put it down
-
How can there be such a miraculous thing?
-
They can both attract and bounce off each other
-
I even took it on a rope and went to various ponds to get things
-
However, the toy market at that time was not very rich.
-
Magnetic sheet
-
magnetic train
-
Magnetic balls and so on
-
It's not only popular among kids
-
for videos of matching various shapes with magnetic balls
-
it is good for obsessive-compulsive disorder sufferers
-
Both picture and sound are extremely comfortable
-
it is relaxing
-
up to now
-
if I get it
-
I can play for a few minutes
-
Although such a magnetic toy is fun
-
Here lies a huge security risk
-
Once this is swallowed by the children
-
Its strong magnetism can cause fatal damage in the body
-
by that time
-
it's not as simple as waiting for it to pass out of the body by the toilet
-
Child Killer
-
During Thanksgiving in 2005
-
one family who lived in the suburbs of Seattle, ushered in the darkest day
-
in the past few days
-
Kenny Sweet, a 20-month-old baby
-
he suddenly began to suffer from nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite
-
he seemed weak
-
the family thought it was because he had an upset stomach from eating too much
-
the next morning
-
he still refused to eat it
-
he threw up without eating
-
Since Kenny's father was also suffering from stomach problems
-
Kenny could be also fine
-
So the family decided to observe at home first
-
Next they gave Kenny some medicine
-
he was soothed to sleep
-
on thanksgiving day
-
Kenny was getting worse
-
There were also strange red spots on the arms
-
he can't even drink water
-
even more frightening
-
The abdomen was also gradually bulging
-
He even started rolling his eyes
-
His consciousness was also erratic
-
they were terrified
-
They rushed him to the hospital
-
However
-
When the doctor in the emergency room said to intubate it
-
Kenny's parents realized the seriousness of the matter
-
but it was too late
-
in the next hour
-
The doctor frantically pressed the chest and performed CPR
-
Kenny's heart rate was very weak
-
sometimes it was not available
-
In the end he was not rescued
-
it all happened very suddenly
-
Everyone couldn't accept the fact that he passed away unexpectedly
-
in the autopsy report
-
There are 8 small cylindrical magnets in Kenny's intestines
-
These were clogging up the intestines
-
Kenny's parents had no idea when he swallowed these by mistake
-
they were very regretful
-
This Magnetic Toy Called Magnetix
-
This was a birthday present that Kenny's brother just received
-
It consists of plastic blocks with embedded magnets and steel bearing balls
-
These spheres are about 15 millimeters in diameter
-
These weigh no more than 30 grams
-
Fearing that the plastic parts would be picked up by Kenny
-
after brother finished putting together the toys
-
Mother put the toy on the high place
-
She also stipulated that after all the toys were played
-
put all the parts away
-
don't take it to another room
-
even so
-
There are still a lot of magnets missing from the plastic parts of the toy
-
That's how they moved the couch and the chairs out of the way
-
Sure enough, they found a missing magnet near the rug.
-
This time the case was solved
-
The magnet fell off the toy and fell into the crevice of the carpet
-
no one found it
-
And Kenny loved nothing more than crawling on the carpet
-
He must have found these gadgets
-
He stuffed them straight into his mouth
-
It's okay if it's just a magnet ball
-
It is likely to be excreted
-
it was more than once
-
So when the small magnets attract each other and form a ball inside the body
-
This can lead to intestinal blockage or perforation
-
if it is not found in time
-
The magnet block will twist the internal organs into a ball
-
This causes severe internal damage and death
-
Kenny's tragedy warned all parents and toymakers
-
However for the Magnetix playset
-
It was one of the ten most popular building block toys in 2005
-
it was often on the best-selling list of major shopping websites
-
what's more
-
Similar magnets also frequently appear in various children's toys
-
including dolls
-
building block set
-
Puppet , puzzles and so on
-
it is available in most families
-
it is small
-
the adsorption capacity is stronger than those fridge magnets
-
it's really scary
-
parents have serious suspicions that Magnetix playset has design flaws
-
This makes it easier for smaller magnets to fall off the plastic body
-
When a toddler at home sees tiny magnets
-
they will mistake it for candy
-
This will become a safety hazard in the process of children exploring the world
-
Constant complaints
-
for the Magnetix suit
-
About half a year before Kenny died
-
There was a kindergarten teacher named Sharon Grigsby
-
She had called to complain about a similar accident
-
Sharon's preschool is located in northern Indiana
-
for a 5-year-old kid
-
Keegan Willis picked up many small magnets from Magnetix toys on the ground
-
He ate them secretly
-
However, these magnets quickly drew together in the body
-
These formed a mass that squeezed the gut
-
later
-
he started to feel bad
-
Sharon noticed it
-
she took him to the hospital
-
Doctors were terrified
-
he had a hole ripped out of his intestines
-
he needed immediate help
-
Fortunately, the operation was a success
-
he didn't die
-
When people asked why he ate magnets
-
he said he was hungry
-
he thought it was candy
-
Sharon was very angry
-
they can be scattered so easily
-
It's about the size of a pill
-
it's very unremarkable
-
it will be eaten by the child by mistake.
-
Soon Sharon called to complain about it
-
later
-
The CPSC wrote back to her.
-
"due to limited resources"
-
"Only a few complaints"
-
"Follow-up investigation"
-
"Please wait for it "
-
But Sharon didn't give up
-
She got a specimen jar from the doctor
-
Here were the balls that were taken out of the intestines
-
Sharon kept the specimen jar in a drawer in her office
-
She's waiting for the investigators to come and take evidence.
-
It's a pity that this matter was gone
-
she heard the news again
-
It was the news that Kenny passed away unexpectedly six months later.
-
What Sharon was most worried about happened.
-
usually
-
Parents know that children are prone to choking on food
-
Therefore, parents are very vigilant during the eating process.
-
And if the child accidentally chokes
-
the reaction is clear
-
Such as coughing, vomiting, turning blue, etc.
-
these are marks
-
But when children play with toys seriously
-
It also means parents can enjoy a moment of freedom too
-
they tend not to be defensive
-
And things like small magnets are easy to get into the gaps in the carpet
-
These will also stick to metal chairs
-
it is hardly noticed by adults
-
From picking up the magnet to swallowing it
-
It's just easy
-
They also don't react in any special way
-
As a result, the children later showed more symptoms
-
The first reaction of parents and doctors is almost always to suspect a gastrointestinal problem
-
Some unreliable doctors even took X-rays and found small magnets
-
They will only suggest waiting for the child to go to the toilet to pass out of the body
-
Little do they know that these magnets can block blood flow in the gut area
-
it's life threatening
-
Since 2000
-
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has received several complaint calls
-
just about intestinal damage caused by children eating toy magnets
-
An 8-year-old boy from Atlanta
-
the toy was broken
-
He swallowed a small magnet
-
he had to undergo surgery
-
He spent 10 days in the hospital before being released
-
in 2003
-
Another 6-year-old girl from Indiana put jewelry in her mouth
-
She imitated the look of a tongue piercing
-
She accidentally swallowed it
-
The girl's surgeon later also called the CPSC
-
He proposed that if they continued to sell similar magnet toys
-
There will be more accidents
-
ironnically
-
the same year
-
Magnetix toy sets have appeared in major supermarkets
-
Due to the high cost performance
-
This was quickly making the list of hot toys
-
in the next few years
-
something was wrong
-
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission received complaint calls one after another
-
Parents made it clear Magnetix toys are especially dangerous
-
The commission forwarded such complaints to toy manufacturers
-
They raised potential safety concerns
-
The other party seemed to downplay the danger
-
The other party also comforted the parents
-
"It doesn't matter if the kids accidentally eat one or two
-
'because it is non-toxic'
-
Sadly
-
Kenny died because of it
-
Everyone started to take these complaints seriously
-
in March 2006
-
All Magnetix magnetic building sets were recalled
-
One year later
-
The toy company has expanded the scope of the recall
-
They also redesigned the toy to prevent the magnets from falling
-
The toy company also released a statement on Kenny's death
-
Magnetix magnetic building sets are only suitable for children over 6 years old
-
There are clear warning signs on the packaging
-
And Kenny's parents admitted it.
-
They claimed they knew it
-
But she had no idea it was going to be this serious
-
Domestic case
-
in these years
-
There are many similar cases in our country
-
it is fun
-
The security risk is simply too high
-
April 8, 2019
-
Xiaoliang, a 7-year-old boy, had nothing to do
-
He stuffed a magnetic ball into his left nostril
-
As a result, he couldn't take it out.
-
and it's getting deeper
-
After the parents learned
-
They tried to suck it out with another magnetic ball
-
It was sucked into the right nostril
-
that's terrible
-
Two magnetic balls were tightly sucked
-
these were blocked on both sides of the nasal septum
-
he can only breathe through the mouth
-
Fortunately, he was taken to the hospital in time.
-
The doctor took out the two magnets through a nasal endoscope
-
what's more
-
many children ate the magnetic ball
-
Sometimes it's not a good thing to be too curious
-
When a 2-year-old girl was playing with a magnetic ball in 2021
-
She strung it into a string and wore it
-
this little girl ate it
-
Later, the doctor took out all 27 magnetic balls three times.
-
The little girl was out of danger
-
something is even more outrageous
-
A 5-year-old child once swallowed 190 magnetic balls
-
It took the doctor 2 hours to remove them
-
Fortunately, there was no danger
-
strictly speaking
-
This magnetic ball is a stress-relieving game for grown-ups
-
these can be quickly attracted together with a distance of 2 cm
-
In China , it is only suitable for people over the age of 14
-
however
-
It's very popular among children
-
This will even appear on the display shelves of various baby stores
-
Parents didn't care at first
-
with colorful look
-
The kids love it too
-
"Children's Educational Toys"
-
Parents naturally relaxed their vigilance
-
They thought it was children's toy
-
outrageously
-
According to the national standard of toys
-
A technician once randomly checked 27 batches of magnetic balls
-
All failed
-
some unscrupulous merchants will not mark precautions on the packaging at all
-
They deliberately confuse consumers
-
In order to prevent similar accidents
-
except manufacturers
-
Sales channels and regulatory authorities must be closely linked
-
put safety first
-
Eliminate substandard products from the source
-
Let consumers buy truly risk-free toys
-
Well, that's the end of this video.
-
If you find that there are similar toys in the homes of relatives and friends
-
Be sure to remind them
-
Never underestimate similar magnet toys
-
This threatens the health of the children
