They may put things in their mouths that are dangerous or should not be consumed. Among the many attractive products that may intrigue kids are magnets, whether refrigerator magnets or magnetic spheres or toys that contain magnets. In August , Zen Magnets and Neoballs Magnets were recalled because they posed an ingestion hazard. If you suspect your child has swallowed a magnet or more than one magnet, it is crucial to take him or her to receive emergency care. You may be concerned about the bills.
Many families do not have enough money to cover the hospital bills or care required by the injuries suffered due to magnets. You should discuss what happened with the experienced Chicago attorneys of the Moll Law Group. When a child swallows two or more high-powered magnets, whether accidentally or intentionally, the magnets that were consumed may be attracted to each other or a different metal object.
The presence of the magnets can result in twisting or blockage of the intestines, along with blood poisoning and death. The mandatory recall involved both Zen Magnets and Neoballs magnets, which are highly powerful spherical magnets that are 5 mm in diameter. Neoballs are sold in a range of colors, including green, red, purple, blue, silver, gold, and orange. In total, around 10 million magnets, packaged individually and in sets, were recalled. The Boppy company recalled more than 3 million loungers for infants and newborns based on suffocation risks.
If your baby was suffocated and suffered injuries or death while using a Boppy lounger, you should call the experienced Chicago child injury attorneys of the Moll Law Firm about whether you have a case against the manufacturer or others in the chain of distribution.
Babies can be suffocated when placed in a Boppy or another infant lounger in a position that allows them to move or roll. They can also suffocate if they roll off a lounger onto another surface such as soft bedding or pillows on an adult bed. According to the CPSC, between December and June , 8 infants suffocated after they were set on their stomachs, sides, or backs in Boppy loungers.
In the case of high-powered magnets, however, the defect often comes from a failure to adequately warn consumers about the dangers associated with the product.
Some products on the market are inherently dangerous. If a company fails to warn of these risks, and this lack of warnings leads to injuries, the company should be held accountable for all harm caused. At the Law Firm of David C. Chavez, LLC , our legal team can help you pursue compensation for injuries you suffered due to a defective product.

The manufacturer of Zen Magnets came to be aware of two kids that ingested their magnets and needed surgery to remove not only the magnets, but portions of their bowels and intestines.
A girl who was 19 months old died after ingesting similar high-powered magnets.
