What's being recalled
Based Online Fidget Magnet Ball Toys
Units: About 9,300
This recall involves Based Online Fidget Magnet Ball Toy Sets. Each set includes four textured, silicone-covered magnet balls in white, yellow, blue and purple. Each ball is about 1.24 inches in diameter. The magnet toys come in a black fabric zippered case. There are no identifying marks on the magnet toys.
The problem, in CPSC's words
The magnet ball toys 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.
Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC
None reported
