Nowadays, many parents buy toys with magnets for their children, such as magnetic puzzles, magnetic building blocks, and magnetic drawing boards. These toys are very interesting and loved by children, but sometimes these magnetic toys may be damaged. So, is a broken magnetic drawing board harmful to babies?
If the magnetic drawing board is broken, it is not harmful to the baby because magnetic materials are harmless to the human body. But in the magnetic drawing board, there will be small magnetic parts and magnetic balls. If a child accidentally swallows or inhales them, it is likely to cause suffocation. When children swallow two or more magnets, they will adsorb to each other in the digestive system, which will put a lot of pressure on the intestinal wall and easily lead to diseases such as gastric perforation and intestinal obstruction.
After swallowing the magnet, it is difficult for the child to expel it on their own, so it can only be removed through surgery. So when parents find that the magnetic drawing board is broken, they should not let their children play anymore, and should throw it away in a timely manner. They should also not give the magnets inside to their children to play with, in order to avoid accidental ingestion.
When parents choose toys for their children, they must be cautious and consider whether the toys are harmful. They should also choose large brand products that meet national safety standards, which provides better quality assurance. In addition, parents should purchase toys for their children according to the age appropriate markings on the toys.
