Hazard Information
The magnetic beads violate the requirements of the mandatory federal magnet regulation. The product contains one or more magnets that fit within CPSC’s small parts cylinder, and the magnets are stronger than permitted. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other or another metal object and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning, and death. As of the recall date, no injuries have been reported in connection with this specific product. However, CPSC estimates that 2,400 magnet ingestions were treated in hospital emergency departments from 2017 through 2021.
