Kids Around the World Are Still Swallowing Magnets at an Alarming Rate

Young children often put things on their mouths that are not necessary. Even harmless objects such as toys can be components that are small enough to swallow like a baby’s magnet. Despite the increase in the rules, thousands of children in the world still do not eat magnets.

In the internationally, the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) and UC Davis, and UC Davis, along with the magnetic reception from all over the world, the issue of addressing the issue is relevant from the world. The results show that children in the United States can be particularly vulnerable. Although the study can only analyze 23% of the countries of the world, the researchers will formulate the policy as they compare.

“This information shows that children’s magnet is an international problem,” Researchers wrote in A learn Today, it was published in the prevention of the magazine. “Each geographical area is different in limitation species and locations, but the problem remains the same: if magnets are available for children, some children will probably lead to a wide range of results.”

Children in the world are at risk of absorbing small, high-powerful magnets in household items such as children, remote, toys and small items in the world. Researchers may not be able to absorb a magnet’s absorption, but in addition to a metal object, along with a metal facility, may require invasive medical intervention.

To get a better picture of global trends, the team examined the documents with the dissemination and consequences of the team between 2002 and 2024, the spread and consequences of magnets. Most of the 96 documents came from the Middle East, North, Europe, Chile, Australia, Egypt and Tunisia. Researchers also assessed any policy on the sale, sale and use of magnetic in their country.

The average age of children swallowing magnets is between two and eight years old and most children swallowed the magnets from children or office supplies, at home, or office supplies. Many of the children needed medical interventions.

It represents the largest number of highest events (23,756), although it can be more often than the other than others. Several countries, including the United States and China, saw an increase in cases reported in time. It also says researchers, as a result of changes in magnetic value, marketing, availability or change in rules, marketing, availability or rules.

The team on regulatory policy found a policy on Pediatric magnetic reception in only 10 countries or in geopolitical zones: The United States, Canada, EU, England, France, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, Australia and New Zealand. POLICIES (AZ) LIMITED BANDS, Restrictions on a clear ban, magnetic strength and / or labeling rules.

“There are still no national policies to restrict small, adopted magnets, and even children’s magnitude countries and even children’s magnetic constraints,” he said. The researchers explained. In the United States, the rules with high-power magnets from the market, in 2016, the number of pediatric magnetic adoption increases by 444% by 2022, but still suspicious policies came into force.

In general, researchers claim that the real number of the real number of children’s magnets is more than many incidents that medical intervention is more than many incidents. The research is “limited to the availability of information”, the bottom line, the children still have high-level magnets.

Fortunately, “This information also gives some opinions about potential solutions,” he said. “Removing the market from the market is due to the reduction of injuries related to magnetic acceptance, and thus such policies should be proposed, promoted and apply.”
