OMG

We need to let everyone on MN know about this somehow!!

I'm horrified - DD is only 4 months old at the moment but have bought other presies for people and never would have thought about these....

OK I'm convinced, am chucking out the magnets

there is usually a bit at the end on web suggesting where to get further help -can't believe that consumer types won't be onto it after this.

Like most toys, they are OK if used as per instructions, are suitable for the age of the child & properly supervised - I wouldn't start panicing

WeWhizzzYouAMerryXmas · 17/12/2007 21:38

I think the age for Magnetix is 6+

As they said, "One death is one too many." Now, who is going to never let their child ride in a vehicle?

can't believe how many children swallow bits of toys! are there wee bits of lego etc walking around inside people that are doing no harm then?

For some reason ch4+1 wont work on our sky & it was set to record. Is there a list anywere of the toys being looked into on here ? Or can someone post them?
