Warning this jacket contains magnets

The following message was emailed to the Club for posting.

We purchased a winter snow mobile jacket for Derek and didn’t notice the tag stated:

"Warning this jacket contains neodynium magnets that may cause interference with artificial pacemaker devices"

Apparently there are many jackets now that are using magnets to close over the zippers. Please forward this message to all of the pacemaker people, kids and families.

Understandably Derek was quite disappointed, but he takes it so well. We will have to exchange it for a different one.

Have a wonderful holiday

purses, too

I've put back several purses recently because they had big ole magnets holding it together! Bummer, buttons or velcro would work just as well. Hopefully manufacturers will get over this trend quickly.

As for my pacemaker (almost 7 years old) I like to think of it in the terms of the old Timex commercial - takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
