GLMZZ Fidget Magnet Ball Toys Recalled Over Risk of Death from Magnet Ingestion
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled GLMZZ Fidget Magnet Ball Toys due to serious safety violations that pose ingestion hazards potentially leading to intestinal damage, blood poisoning, and death.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued an urgent recall for GLMZZ Fidget Magnet Ball Toys after determining they pose a serious risk of injury or death if swallowed by children. The toys violate mandatory federal safety standards for high-powered magnets.
What's Being Recalled
The recall affects GLMZZ Fidget Magnet Ball Toy Sets containing eight round magnet balls in various colors including white, blue, green, pink, yellow, cream, and two purple balls. Each ball measures approximately 1.24 inches in diameter and comes packaged in a black zippered case.
The Danger
These high-powered magnet toys present an extreme ingestion hazard, particularly for children. When swallowed, the powerful magnets can attract each other or other metal objects inside the digestive system, according to the CPSC. This magnetic attraction can cause devastating internal injuries including:
- Perforated intestines
- Twisted or blocked intestines
- Blood poisoning
- Death
The recall comes after at least one injury has already been reported in connection with these toys.
What You Should Do Immediately
Stop using these toys right now and keep them away from children. The CPSC emphasizes the urgency of removing these products from homes immediately.
To receive a full refund, consumers should:
- Contact GLMZZ directly
- Dispose of the magnet ball toys by throwing them away
- Email a photo of the disposed toys to GLMZZrecall@outlook.com as proof of disposal
Why This Matters
Magnet ingestion incidents have led to numerous emergency surgeries and deaths over the years, prompting federal regulations on high-powered magnetic toys. These GLMZZ toys fail to meet those safety standards designed to protect consumers.
Check Your Home
Look for GLMZZ-branded fidget magnet ball sets in black zippered cases. The colorful 1.24-inch diameter balls may seem harmless but pose serious dangers, especially in homes with young children who might mistake them for candy or toys safe to put in their mouths.
