Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? PlastWood and Supermag are magnetic toys. They have small, strong magnets inside.

What's happening? The magnets can come loose. If a child swallows more than one, they can stick together inside the body. This can cause serious injuries.

Does this affect me? This affects children who play with these toys in Hungary.

What should I do? Stop using the toy right away. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice if your child has played with it.
