High-Powered Magnetic Ball Sets Recalled Due to Ingestion Hazard; Violation of the Federal Safety Regulation for Toy Magnet Sets; Sold Exclusively on Walmart.com through Joybuy
CPSC recall 24144. Recall date: .
Hazard, in the words of CPSC
The recalled 5mm magnetic ball sets violate the mandatory federal toy magnet 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 each other, or 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, in the words of CPSC
Consumers should stop using the recalled magnetic ball sets immediately, take them away from children, and contact Joybuy Marketplace Express to receive a pre-paid label to return them for a full refund. Joybuy Marketplace Express is notifying all known purchasers directly.
