The text below is quoted from the CPSC notice word for word.
- What was recalled
- This recall involves Generic magnetic ball sets. This recall involves sets of 1,000 multi-colored 3 mm (0.1 inch) magnetic balls that are separable and have a strong magnetic flux. The magnets are encased in clear, plastic packaging and have "1000 Magnets" and "3MM" printed on the front of the packaging.
- The hazard
- The recalled 3 mm magnetic ball sets violate the mandatory standard for toys because the magnet sets contain loose magnets posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets 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.
- Injuries
- None reported
- The remedy
- Consumers should stop using the recalled magnetic ball sets immediately and take them away from children and contact Ritons for instructions on how to receive a refund. Ritons will provide a prepaid label for consumers to return the recalled products.
