Generic Magnetic Ball Sets
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
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.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Swallowed magnets can cause life-threatening internal injury.
