The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on Jan. 22, 2026, that Based Online is recalling fidget magnet ball toys due to the risk of serious injury or death from magnet ingestion. Consumers should stop using the products immediately and contact the company for a full refund.
How to tell if you have it
- Brand: Based Online
- Product: Fidget Magnet Ball Toy Sets
- Description: Four textured, silicone-covered magnet balls (white, yellow, blue, purple) in a black fabric zippered case
- Sold at: Amazon.com online from February 2025 through October 2025
What to do
Consumers should stop using the recalled magnet ball toys immediately, take them away from children and contact Based Online to receive a full refund. Consumers should throw the magnet ball toys away and email photo of the disposal to Based Online at recall@mail.goclimber.cn.
The hazard
The magnet ball toys violate the mandatory standard for toys because they are loose high-powered magnets, posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, they 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.
