The product, in the report: Kidco Magnetic Locks
The consumer stated that the magnets used to unlock a childproof lock on her cabinets in her home pose a potential choking and swallowing hazard. The magnets were recommended by a professional child-proofer. The magnets are made by Kid Co and are sold in most baby stores and online. The magnets are in a plastic casing-the plastic casing can crack open which releases a small magnet-this has happened in 3 of the 10 magnets purchased when the magnet has dropped on a hard floor. The magnets are a centimeter thick and an inch in diameter. The consumer notified the company 2 times and each time they sent replacements. The consumer is a Pediatrician and has first hand seen the complications that can occur if a child ingests a magnet. The consumer’s children were never in contact with the magnets.
