Why it was recalled
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.
Recommended action
What to do
Consumers should stop using the recalled magnet ball toys immediately, take them away from children and dispose of them.
