Temu toy left boy, 4, vomiting as doctors forced to fish magnets from his bowels A mum says her 4-year-old son ate magnets that he "mistook for sprinkles" when they fell out from his Temu toy - forcing doctors to remove his bowel in order to fish them out.
During the operation, doctors had to temporarily remove Gage's entire bowel to hunt for the magnets, which had fused his left and right colon together.
But the 28-year-old claims the exterior parts of the "fragile" toy kept "popping off" while her son was playing with it, leaving the inner magnets exposed.
It was only when Kaela was tidying her son's room that she found a half-eaten cookie under his bed covered in the small and slim magnets, which she says he had mistaken for sprinkles.
Kaela Modery bought her son Gage a set of magnetic building blocks from the retail giant last month.
