Mattel Inc. is recalling 4.4 million Polly Pocker toys with magnets after some of them caused serious injuries to children who swallowed magnets that fell off.

Tiny magnets inside the toys can fall off undetected by parents and caregivers. The magnets can be swallowed, or placed in their noses or ears by young children. When more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforation(腸內(nèi)穿孔), infection or blockage, which can be fatal(致命的).

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) received 170 reports of the small magnets coming out of these recalled toys. There were three reports of serious injuries to children who swallowed more than one magnet. All three suffered intestinal perforation that required surgery. A 2-year-old child was hospitalized for seven days and a 7-year-old child was hospitalized for 12 days. An 8-year-old child was also hospitalized.

The recalled Polly Pocker toys contain plastic dolls and accessories that have small magnets. The magnets measure one-eighth inch in diameter and are fixed in the hands and feet of some dolls, and in the plastic clothing, hairpieces and other accessories to help the pieces attach to the doll.

The model number is printed on the bottom of the largest pieces on some of the toys. Contact Mattle if you cannot find a model number on your product to determine if it is part of the recall. Polly Pocker magnetic toys currently on store shelves are not included in this recall. The model numbers involved in the recall are: B2632, B3158, B3201, B7118, G8605, H1537, H1538, and H3211. The toys were sold at discount department stores and toy stores from May, 2003 through September, 2006 for between $ 15 and $ 30.

Consumers should immediately take these recalled toys away from children and contact Mattel to arrange for the return of the toys. For additional information contact Mattel at 888-597-6597 anytime, or visit the firm’s website.
