The recalled magnet sets contain high-powered magnets and violate the federal standard for children’s toys. When two or more high-powered magnets are swallowed, they 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.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled magnetic balls and take them away from children. If you purchased the recalled magnetic balls for someone else, notify the recipient immediately. Consumers should contact Sobeauty Inc. for instructions on returning your product and receiving a full refund including taxes and the original shipping cost.
