The product, in the report: children’s toy with small magnets and electronic clip-together parts
The product “littleBits” is advertised as a children’s toy. It contains small magnets along with other small electrical parts. It is sold on the Amazon website but it carries a warning which says: “Warning: Choking Hazard -- WARNING: Keep Away From All Children. Do not put in mouth or nose. This product contains small magnets. Swallowed magnets can stick together across intestines causing serious infections and death. Seek immediate medical attention if magnets are swallowed or inhaled.” This product was discussed as a children’s toy on CNN at 11:30 A.M. Arizona time on the show “The Next List” in an interview with the developer,[REDACTED]. As a pediatrician I state that this toy represents a very dangerous hazard to children and should not be promoted or advertised as a children’s toy.
