| 0 comments

Recall Date: February 01, 2024

Recall number: 24-097

Recall Summary

Name of Product: Magnetic DIY Balls Magic Cube, 5mm

Hazard: The magnetic ball sets do not comply with the requirements of the mandatory federal toy regulation because they contain one or more magnets that fit within CPSC’s small parts cylinder and the magnets are stronger than permitted. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract to each other or to another metal object and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death.

Remedy: Refund
