SCS Direct recalls Magnet Balls sets due to risk of serious injury if swallowed by children. Magnets can cause intestinal obstructions, perforations, and death. Consumers should stop using and return for $20 store credit.
When two or more magnets are swallowed, they can link together inside a child's intestines and clamp onto body tissues, causing intestinal obstructions, perforations, sepsis and death. Internal injury from magnets can pose serious lifelong health effects.
SCS Direct is recalling Magnet Balls sets because swallowing multiple magnets can cause life-threatening intestinal injuries. This is especially dangerous for young children who might put magnets in their mouths.
When children swallow two or more magnets, they can link inside the intestines and cause severe injuries like obstructions, perforations, or death. The magnets are small enough to be swallowed but powerful enough to cause internal damage.
Children under 5 years old are most at risk as they often put small objects in their mouths. Parents and caregivers who purchased the Magnet Balls sets on Amazon.com are affected.
The recalled items are Magnet Balls sets sold in silver or multi-color cylindrical tins on Amazon.com. Each set contains 216 small spherical magnets.
Immediately stop using the recalled Magnet Balls sets as swallowing multiple magnets can cause serious injury.
