Daily Sale Magnetic DIY Balls Magic Cube 5 mm is being recalled because it does not comply with the requirements of mandatory federal toy regulations. The product contains one or more magnets that fit within the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s small parts cylinder, and the magnets are stronger than permitted. When high powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other and become lodged in the digestive tract. This can cause perforations, twisting, or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning, and death. No injuries have been reported to date. The recalling firm is DailySale of Pompano Beach, Florida.
The government estimates that 2,400 magnet ingestions were treated in emergency rooms from 2017 through 2021. There have been seven deaths since 2005 involving the ingestion of hazardous magnets, including two outside of the United States.
