Woman wears “100% silicone” buttplug, unaware that said plug has a metal core, suffers severe injuries from MRI machine. Story [here](https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/woman-has-sex-toy-dragged-through-body-during-mri-scan/news-story/d7ac723f64f339fbab031e6cbe4cbeef). ---

Is it real, that article is all over the place. “the plug was pulled through the patient’s rectum and up into their chest cavity at the “speed of sound” and that the patient survived with “major injuries” and “The patient was checked out by the radiologist at the site before transport to ensure the patient was doing okay.” That seems like a one or the other thing. I wouldn’t think someone could be described both as ‘survived with major injuries’ and also ‘doing okay’. Also there’s a screen shot of a tweet, with the text of the tweet typed out. The typed out version has some spelling/grammar errors with “[sic]” next to them, however, those errors aren’t in the tweet. One more, what’s an “estimated valley attorney”. I assume it’s a typo, but the only hit I got when I looked it up was broken link to someone else asking what it is. ---

> [@Joey\_P](#): > > Is it real, that article is all over the place. Eh, that web site is News Corp Australia, and while it has the stink of Rupert Murdoch on it, it seems reputable enough. All that being said, you point out a lot of mistakes, and if the editing is that sloppy the reporting might be as well. ETA: I will also note that this story seems to be almost 2 years old, see these reports from May 2023 about an incident that happened in April of that year. Note that these reports talk about it “being mentioned on social media” from the time, and seem sceptical. > **[FDA report details MRI accident caused by sex toy](https://healthimaging.com/topics/medical-imaging/magnetic-resonance-imaging-mri/mri-accident-triggered-object-patients-rectum)** > > An FDA adverse event report suggests that although the patient involved in the accident was screened for metal prior to undergoing her MRI, she did not disclose the presence of a “butt plug."  > **[This Is Why You Should Never Wear A Metal Butt Plug In An MRI Machine](https://www.iflscience.com/this-is-why-you-should-never-wear-a-metal-butt-plug-in-an-mri-machine-68886)** > > A scan going around the internet allegedly shows what happens if you do.

The _New York Post_, _Vice_, _Daily Mail_, and some local Fox affiliate in Houston also reported on it. > **[Woman left with horrific injuries after sex toy ‘dragged through body’ during...](https://nypost.com/2025/01/14/health/woman-has-sex-toy-dragged-through-body-during-mri-scan/)** > > A young woman has reportedly been left with horrific injuries after leaving a sex toy inserted during an MRI scan. > **[Woman Learned to Take Her Butt Plug Out Before an MRI the Hard Way](https://www.vice.com/en/article/woman-learned-to-take-her-butt-plug-out-before-an-mri-the-hard-way/)** > > If you’re going to have an MRI, take out your butt plug beforehand.

In other words, it’s a non-story for a slow news day, and regurgitating something a couple of years old doesn’t count as “news” to me. ---

A quick google search turns up other results for this same incident, with links for the Daily Mail, Vice, the New York Post and more. The incident happened in Australia, so that might account for the potential awkwardness of the reporting. I’m not familiar enough with the Australian journalism standards to be able to assess that. I agree it was oddly phrased, but it seems to be a legitimate article. ---

> [@TokyoBayer](#): > > Why was it reported to the US FDA? MedWatch seems to be a branch of the FDA that collects these types of reports ‘from the public’ and acts on them if they feel it’s necessary. They seem to function more like a BBB/Consumer Protection outfit. As for why someone would report it here, I don’t know. Maybe the MRI scanner was American made or the patient was American or there was some other tie back to the US. Or maybe someone just reported it because it looked like a place to report medical stuff. As far as I can tell, anyone can file a report there.

Just to repeat, it’s almost two years old, and it’s just a report that’s available online from here: [https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfmaude/detail.cfm?mdrfoi\_\_id=16771275&pc=LNH](https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfmaude/detail.cfm?mdrfoi__id=16771275&pc=LNH) Some people on social media found that report and started speculating about it, and it got attention from a couple of news sites. Nobody has any real info on what happened. Then out of nowhere a handful of media sites decided to talk about it again recently. I guess they had nothing better to publish. **It’s not a real news story.** ---
