Pumps and Magnets on Clothing?
Hello...so I was about to buy a new winter jacket that I loved...and then I realized, the way it closes is with a zip and then the flap has a bunch of magnets that hold it down to make it look cool. After I realized the magnet tag warning sign hanging off of the jacket, I was like oh crap, I wonder if that could effect my pump? Since you're not supposed to have it near magnets?
Is that only applicable to really really strong magnets? What would you do, I guess not take a chance, right?

I was told not to buy a cell phone case for the pump if it has magnets that hold it closed. This is only one magnet compared to several on a jacket. I would not take the chance.
