It was a silicone plug, which if I recall was labeled as 100% silicone. But it had a metal core.
Personally I think it's kind of stupid to be having a butt plug in all the time anyway.
Call me old, but I just don't get it.
How else are you going to keep the poop in?
Use your thumb like a normal person.
Okay, grandpa. Let's get you back to bed.
Not just metallic, but ferrous. Those silly iron butt plugs.
Call me crazy but maybe these MRI clinics should have walk thru metal detectors installed. Schools have them now, why wouldn't they?
Don't they? The few MRI machines I've seen do at the entrance to avoid this shit
Metal detectors aren't ceryycheap but MRI machines are so grossly expensive that the cost of the metal detectors is pennies on the dollar
Aren't metal detectors like... very cheap, actually? At least the sort of tech they use in handheld ones is somewhat inexpensive as you can get hobbyist metal detectors for the ground for like 40 euros, new. Ofc there's also pro model going for like 600e or more.
My point here being that a very rudimentary one should do the trick in thick case.
Although people really should know whether they have any metal on them, but accidents happen, people forget and do dumb things. A little noise would be beneficial to let people know about the metal — accidental or not.
A metal detector port with (why not?) a gate in front of it that refuses to open in case metal is detected really is still chump change compared to an MRI machine

Staff incompetence, probably?
I'm thinking more:
"If they don't disclose ferrous metal and it breaks them, it's on them. If it breaks our stuff, it's still on them to pay us for the damages."

Metal detectors? Are you serious? It's not like people are carrying guns in there. Oh wait...
Fun fact: Lots of metals aren't detected by those. I have a single piece of body jewelry that weighs over half a pound, and it's never been picked up by either walk-thru or hand wand metal detectors. Maybe they set the sensitivity too low, but even airports have missed that piece of jewelry (prior to back-scatter x-rays, etc.). I've worn it through two MRIs, along with all of my other piercings, and had zero problems.

This is a new article, but a previous incident was they thought it was 100% silicone from the package.
Yeah easy mistake to make then, I always make sure to have my silicone butt plug in on days where I'm going for an MRI for this exact reason.
well people don't always get MRIs when they're at their best, mentally
hope she's all right with no lasting damage
I am all for kinky shit but if i have something serious like an MRI scan, the last thing i have on my mind is something up my ass 😐
There is a reason why the request "remove all metal items you may have on you" is done before starting the exam.
I've seen people with old teeth fillings being rejected because the machine can pull it straight out of your mouth.

Yikes! So, like, what if an MRI is medically necessary for those people? Do they have to schedule a dental appointment first to remove/replace those fillings? Genuinely curious now that you've mentioned that because fillings were not something I ever thought about with regard to MRI safety.
Remember those black filling pastes dentists used to use? Some had metal in it. Modern ones are safe, as those materials were phased out, deemed unsafe. Most stable countries have done this but in some parts of the world it is still possible to have those older fillings in use.
And, yes, I've seen people strongly avised to have their cavities reviewed before undergoing MRI exams. The metalic filling are, according to what I was explained, dangerous by two different reasons: the filling can be physically pulled from the teeth, causing severe trauma, but the metal can heat up inside the mouth and cause severe burns.

They do MRIs outside hospitals?
Some private practices or specialty clinics have MRI scanners but may not be equipped to deal with such damage as this.
There was a semi-recent incident at a diagnostic center where a police officer ignored a warning sign with predictable results.
Wow. Raid a doctor's office looking for weed, kill a machine worth more than your life, and then leave your ammo. What a cop.
That's fantastic
There are imaging centers that are medical facilities but are not necessarily equipped to handle acute trauma
Sometimes I feel like a real hillbilly

Her two braincells must not have been talking to each other that day. That's an easy way to earn a Darwin Award..
At least this time it wasn't a gun.
And this is why they ask you those weirdly specific questions, as well as do the metal detector.
The issue here is that the company that made the sex toy was likely lying about the material. Implant-grade stainless steel is 316LVM ASTM F-138; it's non-magnetic, and will not be heated up by a strong magnetic field. Cheap grades of stainless, esp. the 440-series, are magnetic. If a company lied about the material--e.g., a hard chrome plating over a cheap, low-carbon steel base--that could cause serious injury. And I've seen exactly that with body jewelry before, so I know for certain that it happens. Esp. since there aren't a lot of health and safety regulations on either sex toys or body jewelry in the US.

Does it just become really hot or?
Depends on the metal that was inside. If it is ferromagnetic then you get fucked. If not, it is something like brass and you have your own private multi kilowatt heater.
Think it woud be assfucked in this case
Is this the same case that had "anal rail gun" in the lawsuit against the butt plug manufacturer, and gave us this image?
