Going to be seeing this sort of thing a lot more in the years to come...



Op, levels were 7 times over legal amount. I'm guessing that the legal amount in a child's toy must be miniscule. So 7 times that mint not be as bad as it sounds?



However, as a dad myself I would also be very "paranoid" that's for sure and would be making a trip to gp/ a&amp;e also I think.]]></content:encoded>

Are the magnetic putty things being sold as toys? I assumed they where all CE marked?]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<em>in addition to what tomd said: I’d be surprised if the safety limit for arsenic in children’s toys was set so close to the known level of toxicity that even 7x the limit was actually toxic for a small amount of ingestion (which is afterall the most he’s likely to have accidentally consumed without you being aware).  Furthermore this withdrawal relates only to one particular brand/version of the product - there was nothing to suggest all magnetic putty was inherently bad.</em>

i doubt either 111 or the walk in centre (or A&amp;E for that matter) deal with arsenic poisoning much so I’m not really surprised if there is confusion.  Given its several days since the possible exposure, and will likely be a few more before any bloods taken today would be back (most UK blood test labs aren’t going to have arsenic capability, especially at weekends) I’m not sure how anyone who is asymptomatic could be considered an emergency.  GP would be the logical choice, but don’t be surprised if they also look at you like you are paranoid - because you most likely are being a bit alarmist.]]></content:encoded>
