From the National Sleep Foundation:

America’s highways will soon be bumper to bumper with road-tripping vacationers eager to enjoy their favorite Memorial Day vacation spots. Sadly, many drivers will hit the road without having had enough sleep, oblivious to the dangers of drowsy driving. Since Memorial Day kicks off the beginning of the summer vacation season, which according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is the deadliest time of year for drivers, the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) reminds the public to stay alert at the wheel and beware of other sleepy drivers in order to arrive at their destinations safely…..

“If a child swallows more than one magnet they can attract to each other in the body and cause intestinal blockage,” said research group Director Alison Cassady in Washington.

The group said the Consumer Product Safety Commission should require a warning label on all magnetic toys that tells parents to seek immediate medical attention if a child swallows magnets….. Recall
