This product is a small, pill-shaped magnetic fidget toy with a bumpy red surface. It is often used by children and adults for sensory stimulation, stress relief, or as a desk toy. These toys are typically found in toy stores, online retailers, or specialty shops.
If more than one magnet is swallowed, they can attract each other inside the digestive system. This can cause blockages, perforations or tears in the intestines, which are life-threatening injuries. Young children are especially at risk because they may accidentally swallow or inhale the magnets.
