Does A Small Zinc Alloy Piece Pass Through The Stools Of A Toddler?
My 3 yr old swallowed a coca cola bottle shaped Monopoly game piece. The piece was swallowed cleanly, no obstruction in the throat. I called Hasbro and they said the piece is made from a non-toxic zinc alloy. Should I wait to see of this passes in his stool? If so, how long should I wait?
