The text below is quoted from the CPSC notice word for word.

What was recalled
This recall involves Zen-branded magnetic balls. The fidget toy sets consist of four textured, silicone silver, light brown, tan and bronze magnetic balls. Each ball measures about 1.24 inches in diameter. The ball sets come in a round, zippered case with or without a white Gordon Sinclair logo printed on them.
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.
Injuries
None reported
The remedy
Consumers should stop using the recalled magnet ball toys immediately, take them away from children and dispose of them.
