Rare-earth Magnets
Powerful rare-earth magnets, which are marketed as toys for adults, are commonly swallowed by children and can be dangerous. When more than one is ingested, they attract one another internally, trapping digestive tissue and preventing blood supply to this area. This can be life-threatening and often requires surgery to remove the magnets and fix the damaged tissue.
