Tristar Products Magnetic Trivets Due to Magnet Ingestion Hazard (Recall Alert)
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
Magnets can detach from the trivets, posing an ingestion hazard to children. When two or more magnets are swallowed, they can link together inside the intestines and clamp onto body tissues, causing intestinal obstructions, perforations, sepsis and death. Internal injury from magnets can pose serious lifelong health effects.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Swallowed magnets can cause life-threatening internal injury.
