NHS warns of rise in children admitted to hospital for ingesting toy parts

Summary by Ground News
Surgeons have had to perform life-saving operations to remove button batteries, magnetic balls and Christmas cracker toys. The number of young people taken to hospital after ingesting small objects has doubled over the last 10 years to 228, according to the latest data. One to two children a year die in the UK from swallowing the batteries, while survivors may end up with life-changing alterations to their anatomy.
