Christmas celebration is something everyone won't get tired of, this is when family and friends come together to celebrate, buy gifts for their loved ones, but also is a period you'll  need to be cautious, parents should be watchful on the gifts the buy or they children receives. For instance a pair of Airpods isn't meant for someone as young as a seven year old boy. 

A seven year old boy accidentally swallowed an Airpod and had to be rushed to the Emergency room right away. Kiara Stroud informed Channel 2's Tyisha Fernandes that her son had accidentally swallowed an Airpod and had to be rushed to hospital immediately. 

“We actually saw it because it has metal in it, so we could see it in the X-ray and I’m like, ‘This boy really swallowed his AirPod!"

Later on, Stroud showed Fernandes an X-ray, showing that the AirPod was still in her son’s stomach, present just below the rib.

“She was like, ‘An AirPod? You know, it’s really unique. I never really heard of this,’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah, it’s a wireless headset,’ and she was just amazed. I've never seen anything like it.”

Thankfully, the severity of the incident was minimal, as Stroud’s seven-year-old son is expected to make a speedy recovery, with doctors telling her that the AirPod will pass out of the boy’s system eventually.

“He was like, ‘Mom. I don’t want my phone,’ because he got a phone for Christmas as well, and he’s like, ‘I don’t want to be near my phone. I don’t want it to connect to my phone and start playing music.’ I’m like, ‘Oh my God.’ He’s a crazy kid.”

Stroud later told Fernandes that at least until her son comes of age, she will continue to gift him larger-sized headphones. She also wants to convey a message to other parents, to restrict buying or giving their kids with a smaller item like that to avoid disaster.
