Don't Buy Polly Pockets

I am hunting for Parita's one and only Polly Pocket around the house. The dolls are available in all the the toy shops in Bangalore and parents don't buy those cute little dolls! A little girl swallowed the magnets that hold the doll's changeable clothes together and fell seriously sick.

"She had ended up swallowing two of the magnets, and they had somehow connected together inside her intestine, which caused two holes -- punctures -- in her intestines, which caused everything to just seep into her body," May said.

With the seepage came a massive infection.

"If I had waited a few more days, she would have died," May said doctors had told her.

And it doesn't end here in case you hold the little girl responsible for what happened

Last November, the 62-year-old toymaker voluntarily recalled 4.4 million Polly Pocket products, about 2.5 million of them in the United States. That recall was expanded Tuesday.

Kids tend to put all kind of stuff in their mouths and parents need to think about stuff that can go wrong before they buy stuff for kids. Also in the US they have some control about the stuff that floods the market but have these Polly Pockets been recalled from International markets as well?

Something tells me such may not be the case. Just stay away from those dolls and I am resuming my hunt for that little she-devil of a toy.
