Thank you for that. I was thinking of getting some of those for the Bean.

They actually did this MONTHS AGO! Around Christmas time.

Thanks for posting that! My friend bought that toy for her 6 yr old daughter, but she also has 1 yr old twins. I know she wouldn't want any of her kids ingesting parts of that toy. I let her know of the recall.

I forget if it was through LJ or the mother's club I belong to, but I read the story from the mother of the boy that swallowed the magnets and had the intestinal twist...she was saying that she was hoping that if everyone prayed all together it could somehow pull her son out of the medical emergency. Sadly it didn't turn out that way, and the story horrified me...made me hug my Bee Boy a little closer as some things tend to do.....very very sad. Aparently his older brother had left them where he the younger boy could get to them...imagine as the older sibling how hard it would be to deal with that? let alone how the family would deal with this death in general.

tragedy....it scares me.
