Over at the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Egelston, specialists were befuddled about the circumstance, however, an X-Ray photograph identified the metal parts in the AirPod and affirmed that the child had in fact swallowed the device. The major concern of the toddler and his mum was how it was going to come out but the specialist assured them that he would pass out the AirPods naturally.
The incident left the boy scared of even touching his smartphone which is also a Christmas present even though he can’t even swallow it.
In summary, AirPods as awesome as they are might be dangerous in the hands of kids of that age just like all other miniature-sized gadgets around.
