One con of traditional splash water balloons is that they are single-use products; you can only use them once before you have to throw them away. At the hospital, Whitty said Leah was sedated so that doctors could perform a small surgical procedure, during which they removed six small magnets from her nose. While these cases involved abdominal injuries—and even led to death in very severe instances—clearly ingestion into the nose is also possible when playing with products that contain small magnets, like refillable water balloons.

There ended up being four on one side and two on the other,” said Whitty, adding that the magnets had “bonded” to Leah’s nasal septum. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

That was when they discovered what was actually up Leah’s nose — tiny magnets from the reusable water balloons.

In 2022, a new safety standard took effect for these high-powered magnets, with the aim of protecting kids “from the serious injuries or death that can occur when two or more magnets are ingested. Magnets have an obvious attraction to each other and they honestly don't care what is in between them when they're being attracted to each other.Once the water balloon is filled, the magnets swiftly and firmly snap together, creating a robust magnetic bond. The new standards require loose or separate magnets in products intended to be used for entertainment, jewelry, mental stimulation and stress relief to be either too large to swallow or weak enough to reduce the risk of internal injuries.
