Just days after a woman in Utah, US, accidentally swallowed one of her AirPods thinking it to be a Vitamin, there has been another similar case. According to a report in Apple Insider, a woman named Moe Kennedy swallowed one of her AirPods Pro while asleep. Around mid night, Kennedy reportedly woke up abruptly, realizing that she had seemingly swallowed one of her AirPods Pro. In a panic, she tried to vomit it back up. However, that didn’t help.
Post this, she rushed her to the nearby emergency room at the Covington Medical Center. There the doctors conducted a CT scan. The medical team reportedly discovered that the AirPod had rapidly moved deeper into Kennedy’s stomach and was stuck in a precarious position. This raised concerns that it could remain lodged or may require a more invasive surgical procedure if not addressed promptly. To prevent this, Kennedy was rushed to a hospital. There she underwent an emergency endoscopy. ‘
Kennedy woke up a few hours later after the procedure with her AirPod safely removed. “Overall, I would 100% recommend the [AirPods Pro], but I 1000% do not recommend eating them,” Kennedy told the website in an email. “Just happy I ended up totally fine, and laughing that I accidentally tested out the Pros ability to be stomach acid proof, which I found out, was at least up to 9 hours,” she added.
