An 8-year-old boy named Junior Gallon accidentally swallowed magnetic building balls while pretending to have a tongue piercing. Despite having used the toys safely for two years, panic ensued when he realized what he had done. His mother, Louise Mcfarlane, rushed him to the hospital, where doctors were concerned about potential internal injuries from the magnets. Fortunately, they clumped together in his stomach, preventing serious harm. Junior's experience serves as a cautionary tale about the hidden dangers of seemingly innocent toys.
He said he thought it would be 'cool' having a tongue piercing. He had tried to make it look like a tongue piercing and as soon as he had done that, they pinged off his tongue and popped together.
Junior had come out of his room and said, 'Mummy, I've got an emergency.' I went in and he said he swallowed two of these magnets.
