The hazard
The recalled magnetic balls violate the mandatory standard for toys because they are loose high-powered magnets, posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.
Incidents reported: None reported
What to do now
Consumers should stop using the recalled magnet ball toys immediately, take them away from children and dispose of them.
