Magnetic Toy Intestinal Injury Hazard Prompts Recall

Attorney Elliot Olsen has recovered money for children who swallowed magnets that were part of a toy or other product.  If two or more magnets are swallowed, they can cause the intestines to knot up or tear.  Surgery is often required to remove the magnets and repair the damage.

Magnet Injury Lawsuit: Magnets Swallowed by Child

Yet another recall has been issued involving hazardous magnetic toys. Child safety attorney Elliot Olsen knows all too well the dangers posed by small magnetic toys that children can not only choke on, but that can cause serious intestinal injuries to children if swallowed. He currently represents children injured by Magnetix toys. If swallowed, these tiny magnets can stick together inside a child’s intestinal tract and tear the child’s intestines, causing serious injury. On August 26, Magnetic Maze Board toys were recalled for the same hazard, though no injuries have been reported. Attorney Elliot Olsen discusses the recall and the hazards of the product.
