Child's Injury Caused by Magnets in Reusable Water Balloon, Mom Claims

An 8-year-old girl in Ohio was injured when magnets from a reusable water balloon became lodged in her nose. The girl experienced burning and stinging sensations before doctors discovered the magnets and removed them through a small surgical procedure. The incident has raised concerns about the potential dangers of reusable water balloons and the need for parental awareness. Medical professionals warn that multiple magnets can cause tissue injury by cutting off blood supply. The mother has shared her daughter's story on social media to alert other parents and caregivers, leading to the removal of the product from Amazon's website.
