Oregon Girl Swallows 37 Steel Balls

A three-year-old Portland, Oregon girl is expected to make a full recovery after 37 magnetized Buckyballs were surgically removed from her intestines.  Authorities say Payton Bushnell swallowed the small steel balls, which are magnets about the size of ball-bearings that are sold as toys and games for adults, but not for young children.

The company that makes Buckyballs has issued a warning on its website after learning the child swallowed the high-powered magnets, urging parents to keep the products out of the hands and reach of all children.
