Mattel Recalls Polly Pocket Toys To Prevent Any More Personal Injury Accidents

Posted by TotalInjury.com Staff Writer | Posted in Personal Injury News

Three children recently suffered intestinal perforations after swallowing multiple magnetic pieces from Polly Pocket toys.  Mattel recalled 4.4 million Polly Pocket sets sold between May 2003 and September 2006 which have tiny magnets that can come loose and cause a fatal personal injury to a child if more than one is swallowed.

Back in March of this year, a similar recall was made by Mega Brands Inc after one child died and three others were seriously injured when they swallowed pieces from magnetic building sets.  Parents and caregivers can find out more information these and other recalls at the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The site also provides valuable tips on ways to avoid toy-related personal injury accidents.
