    The product, in the report: This toy came out of a treasure chest with product # SLTY500 from Rhode Island Novelties

    My 6 year old son had gotten a toy from a Rhode Island treasure chest. It is the size of a pill & says, “Magnetic Light” and “Flashes Red and Red” on the packaging. He took this item apart & there were two magnets stuck together and two batteries. He proceeded to use his mouth to try & pry the two magnets apart only to swallow them. I rushed him to the ER thinking it was the batteries at first & they did an X-Ray and thankfully it was in his stomach already. Had it been in his esophagus he could have choked to death or had to be rushed into emergency surgery to remove. We were able to watch him & repeat the x-ray a few days later to see where the items were in his system. Upon getting another one of these toys & taking it apart I saw that he had in fact swallowed the magnets not batteries & called the pediatrician. They said he had to have them surgically removed if still in his stomach or intestines. Thankfully he had passed them & we avoided surgery. This was extremely scary & could have been deadly. This is NOT a toy for any age child.
