It looks to me from a brief internet search that there's enough possible morbidity associated with children under six and magnets that you're running a risk.  The CDC has issued a health risk alert with respect to children and magnets.  Actually, it most likely multiple magnets or magnets plus metal that's the big concern.   http://www.hhs.gov/news/healthbeat/2007/02/20070215a.html .
