The recalled magnetic fidget pill toy violates the mandatory federal regulation for magnets, posing an ingestion hazard to children.
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.
