Anyone who has ever had a fridge magnet fall off their fridge and onto their foot could probably attest that they can be very dangerous items if not handled correctly. Despite their rounded edges, many people have reported experiencing a 'slight tap' in such circumstances.
Meanwhile, alarming news has reached us of more serious consequences of fridge magnet ownership. This article from the BBC tells it all, and readers are advised to think extremely carefully before wearing any fridge magnet as an item of jewelry. Although the scare is only linked to a particular type of magnet (and not the kind used in the manufacture of magnets flogged by The Fridge Magnet Magnate), it may be a wise precaution to refrain from hugging your fridge.
