The Neighborhood Safety Network
Landmark of Ridgefield Academy has subscribed to the Neighborhood Safety Network. NSN is a project of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. Their main purpose is to alert consumers to product recalls as well as educate parents through useful child safety tips and advisories. We plan to share with parents the tips and alerts that we receive from NSN. Please read below about the hidden dangers of magnets.
The Hidden Dangers of Magnets
Magnets found in many toys are strong enough to attract one another or other metal objects through body parts creating unique dangers particularly if swallowed. If two or more ingested magnets, or one magnet and a magnetic piece such as a steel ball, attract in the intestines, they can pinch the intestinal walls cutting off the blood supply resulting in a perforation (hole). Twisting of the intestine and blockages can also result from swallowed magnets. Be extremely careful in purchasing toys containing magnets and vigilant in watching children while playing. Keep any small magnets away from children younger than 6 years old, particularly if the child has a tendency to put objects in his or her mouth. Children should never use magnets to emulate tongue, lip or nose piercings. Children have also been known to use their teeth to pry apart two magnets. Survey the child’s play area, and if a magnet has become dislodged or if there is a magnet missing, stop using the toy immediately.
