What is this? A toy fishing game with small, strong magnets that can come off.

What's happening? The magnets can detach and be swallowed. If a child swallows more than one, they can stick together inside the body and cause serious harm.

Does this affect me? This toy is sold in Cyprus. Young children who play with it are at risk.

What should I do? Stop using the toy right away. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice if a child has swallowed a magnet.
