Incident Details
- Incident Description: My 7 year old was playing with his star wars lightsabor toy. He stuck his finger in the end of the light sabor where it connects to the part that makes noise and his finger got stuck. Urgent care could not remove it so we were sent to the emergency room. It took 4 hours and 6 doctors to remove it from his finger. The plastic was so thick the electric cutter would barley cut through it. They had to use different plyers and really the strength of the male nurse to eventually pull it off.
