    mystery magnetic alarm figured out

    Well my mysterious magnetic field alarm problem has been solved. It appears that a Build-A-Bear that I gave my son for Valentine's Day has a magnet in it's tongue so it can hold bones, toys etc.( I was unaware of this when I bought it) Who would have thought that a stuffed animal would make an ICD alarm go off??
    I guess they should have warning labels on them?? HaHa!
    I s'pose I won't be hugging his little dog anymore.
    You just never know do you?

    Julie,

    I'm glad you figured it out. Wow, I never knew that either. I'm sure you'll be hugging your son without the toy from now on.
