Magnets and Steel Balls
Haley Lents, 8, from Indiana, swallowed 10 magnets and 20 steel balls from a Magnetix set. The magnets and balls attracted one another within her digestive system, ripping a total of 8 holes in her intestines and forcing her parents to rush her to the hospital for emergency surgery. Lents later told reporters that it all looked like candy to her.
