Hospital admission Made Mar 18, 2021, sent to the company Mar 26, 2021, published by CPSC Apr 9, 2021
The product, in the report: Vivitar 4 PK MAGNETIC CORD HOLDERS Wraps around cables to keep them from tangling. Approximately 2 inches long. UPC 681066017050
I bought a “4 pack of Magnetic Cord Holders”. I got one out to use and left the other 3 in the package to use at a later time. My 20 month old daughter found the package and chewed on one causing her to ingest two magnets that easily came out, although I was unaware they could come out. There is no labeling on the package to include about a warning of the magnets possibly able to come out, danger to children, choking hazard, NOTHING. Only a warning for “cancer and reproductive harm.” This ended in my child having to go to the emergency room to be xrayed multiple times, transported by ambulance to a children’s hospital in another state, and being admitted to the hospital for IV treatment and to be closely monitored. Luckily the two had joined together early to where they were stuck together and are currently passing through her intestines. This could have resulted in surgery to remove the magnets. I do not want this to happen to another child. Is there anything that can be done?
