What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Generic Magnetic Balls 1000pcs?
Generic Magnetic Balls 1000pcs was announced in a previous recall cycle, in the "Other" category. The recalled 3 mm magnetic ball sets violate the mandatory standard for toys because the magnet sets contain loose magnets posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets 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. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should stop using the recalled magnetic ball sets immediately and take them away from children and contact Ritons for instructions on how to receive a refund. Ritons will provide a prepaid label for consumers to return the recalled products. Sold at: Amazon from November 2024 through August 2025 for about $35.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 5,800 units of Generic Magnetic Balls 1000pcs are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
