Magnetism

New safety concerns have arisen over a toy called Magnetix, a popular toy building set.

The toy is suspected to have played a part in the death of two year old Kenny Sweet. An autopsy revealed two magnets from the toy he'd swallowed had pinched his small intestine shut. As a result bacteria was forced into the bloodstream killing him.

And a five-year-old boy is in serious condition in a Seattle hospital after doctors say he swallowed two small magnets from the toy.

Sad indeed.
