Toys With Magnets Safety Warning

Under new rules approved by the European Commission last week, toys containing magnets will have to carry compulsory safety warnings.

This is as a result of the product recalls of 2007 and including such popular toys as Polly Pocket, Barbie, Batman and Doggy Day Care. Small magnets used in these toy sets could fall out and then be swallowed by young children. Mattel did undergo a full product recall last year to address the problem (source) with their own product ranges.
