In 2021, 27-year-old Carli Bellmer accidentally swallowed one of her AirPods after mistaking it for an ibuprofen pill.
She realized what had happened almost immediately and tried to make herself vomit, but it didn’t work.
The AirPod was still connected to her phone, so when Carli sent a voice message to a friend, the audio was recorded from inside her stomach, capturing strange gurgling sounds.
An X-ray later confirmed the AirPod was moving through her body, and it eventually passed naturally.
Carli shared the story as a warning to others: always check what you’re swallowing.
