CPSC Recall in 2025: Generic Magnetic Ball Sets Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Magnet Ingestion; Violates Mandatory Standard for Toys; Sold on Amazon by Ritons
See the recall details below. You can also see similar information for other consumer product recalls in 2025.
This recall involves Generic magnetic ball sets. This recall involves sets of 1,000 multi-colored 3 mm (0.1 inch) magnetic balls that are separable and have a strong magnetic flux. The magnets are encased in clear, plastic packaging and have “1000 Magnets” and “3MM” printed on the front of the packaging.
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.
