Haley Lents of Huntingburg underwent emergency intestinal surgery last month in Indianapolis after she swallowed pieces from her Mega Brands Magnetix MagnaCase set.

She was taken to the emergency room for stomach pains, and an X-ray revealed the force from the magnets had torn her intestines in eight places.

Doctors told Haley’s parents her intestines looked like they had been punctured by eight gunshot wounds or stab-like holes, Haley’s father told CBS’ Early Show on Monday; it is being reported by cbsnews.com.

Haley, who spent two weeks in the hospital, is lucky to be alive, doctors said.

Last year over 4 million Mega Brands magnetic toys were recalled after other children also swallowed the magnets and had to be rushed to the hospital.

“She was lying on a bouncer, harnessed, sleeping. I could make out from her face that she was OK. I was just extremely relieved. I picked the baby up and just held her in my arms and she started crying.”

Bharat and his wife Gayatri called police and the center’s owner was tracked down.

The director of the center, Anthony Khali, said the facility’s policies and procedures had been changed to prevent a repeat incident.

“I think it was just a very big misunderstanding,” he said. “I think we’re fortunate in the fact that the baby was safe. What we’ve gone through in the last week, I’d say, would be worse than whatever fine they give us. Living with what happened is bad enough.”
