Reason for the recall
- The product presents a serious risk of choking as the small magnetic balls were found to be small enough to be regarded as being capable of causing a choking hazard for a child. If two or more magnets were swallowed, there is a risk that the magnets become drawn to each other in the digestive system, which could cause serious injury or death if medical attention is not sought immediately
