Mattel, of El Segundo, Calif., is voluntarily recalling about 9 million toys because of magnet concerns. The magnets can be found by young children and swallowed or aspirated. If more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforation or blockage, which can be fatal. The toys included in the recall are about 7.3 million various Polly Pocket dolls and accessories, 1 million Doggie Day Care play sets, 683,000 Barbie and Tanner play sets and 345,000 Batman and One Piece magnetic action figure sets.
