“Halfway through my walk, I decided to take my vitamins, so I put my vitamins in, took a drink, and I was like, man, those are stuck,” Barker was quoted by the new report. “So I guzzled my water, kept on going, said bye to Kathleen, and went to go get my AirPod. And my pills were in my hand. I swallowed my AirPod.”
Baker immediately reached to her friends and doctors for advice and was told to let it pass naturally. This isn’t the first time that someone has swallowed an AirPods. According to the same report, another woman, back in 2021 popped in her AirPod mistaking it to be her vitamins. The AirPod inside continued working and could even capture the sound of her stomach.
Popular British TV presenter Kirstie Allsopp had accidentally swallowed the AirPod confusing it to be the vitamins. “In other news I just swallowed an AirPod while downing my vitamins, I don’t recommend it. I’ve managed to chuck it back up without having to go to hospital, but my throat is really quite sore,” she had tweeted.
These incidents are are a reminder to us all to be careful when using small electronic devices, and to be especially mindful of where we put them. After all, you never know when you might accidentally swallow one.
