Reason for Recall
The small magnets can easily detach from the product. If swallowed, magnets can link together inside a child's intestines and clamp onto body tissues, causing intestinal obstructions, perforations, sepsis and death. Internal injury from magnets can pose serious lifelong health effects.
Action Taken
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled magnets place them out of reach of children and contact Design Ideas for a refund.
