did anyone watch it last night on toys! i was disgusted! i used to have those magnetic jewelery! and i wore them in my lip nose etc! (was young) what if id swallowed them! i will never be buying magnets thats for sure!!!! those peole need locking up selling dangerous toys i think its terrible that someone would get locked up for driving offences yet when it comes to our childrens safety and potentially their lives these people get a slapped wrist! rant over! xx

I didnt see it, what happened? something about magnetic jewellery?!

it was shocking i have removed a few presents fom my daughters lot this year!!!!!!!!! im now going to stick to big brands only from now!!!!!

i got the pooh bear bubble blower a couple of years ago for my little boy. i knew it wasnt real but firstly didnt think some one would actually make dangerous toys and sertainly didnt think the paint could be so harmfull. i will never get anythink from a market now just in case. its made me feel quite sick

I saw it too and was disgusted. Especially when that bloke said that nothing leaves China for the US until it has cleared customs with all the correct paperwork, but with Britain and Europe its basically anything goes because they have not come down hard enough on the Chinese companies!!!!!

Are our kids not as worthy of protection from dangerous toys as the American kids??? This government are so anxious to not offend other countries that they would rather put our kids at risk!!!

Everyone should boycott those magnetic toys,write to the manufacturers and also write to their MP's!! I know I will be! :x

i agree in boycotting the magnetic toys! i have seen them advertised on tv only this morning! fir gods sake they have killed a little boy and his parents got blamed as they are for 3 years or over!!! i will not buying joseph anything magnetic ever! if only british government cared more about its children as it did about licking other goverments arses! xx

Hi
I did not see this wondered if anyone who did could let me know what the toys were that were the problem. Was it anything with a magnet? My friend has bought my nine year old the JML magnetic jewellery set i know she is old enough for things like this and she is pretty good at keeping them away from the younger two but there is always a chance of them picking them up if she has dropped one and does not know....

Any help would be fantastic....

Hi scubavic,

there was a 9yr old girl featured who had had some magnetic jewellry, and her and her mates had been putting them on their lips,noses, ears etc. When she had them on her lips she swallowed some of them and they ripped her bowel and she needed emergency op. If your daughter has got them, then I would make sure she knows not to use them as lip jewellry. The other stuff was Polly Pocket magetic stuff, and the Magnetix construction stuff. x

my 8 year old had loads of the polly pocket stuff that was recalled, she got replacements but tbh they are just as bad and as she shares a room with my 3 year old i have taken them away. I had bought her some magnetix for christmas but im seriously considering returning it.

Thanks girls
My sil has bought nephew quite a lot of the magnetix he is only five after telling her she is like you hayley wondering if to give it him. My childminder has removed all hers that she has for the older children to the loft after one parent who had seen the programme raised concerns...
Wish i had seen it do not think we realise that even buying the best and well know brands they are not always as safe as we would expect...

i would def consider not giving it to kids as it really frightened me. im not normally one of the parents that follows strict guidelines etc but this did worry me as i can see how it would harm. fancy showing it a week before christmas when people have already bought the bloody stuff !!! xx
