Do not say
- [number] children swallowed magnets
Caveats
- Counts any mention of magnets in the headline or hazard text: magnets as the hazard, magnets as a small part, and magnetic products recalled for something else (for example a magnetic power bank recalled for fire).
- Not a count of swallowing injuries.
