Ritons is recalling approximately 5,800 sets of multi-colored 3 mm magnetic balls because they contain small, high-powered magnets that violate federal safety standards. If swallowed, these magnets can attract each other or other metal objects through internal tissues, causing life-threatening blockages and perforations. The sets were sold on Amazon for about $35 from November 2024 through August 2025. Consumers should immediately stop using the magnets and keep them away from children.
When high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other inside the digestive system, leading to intestinal twisting, blockages, perforations (holes in the gut), blood poisoning, and death. No injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should stop using the recalled magnetic ball sets immediately and take them away from children and contact Ritons for instructions on how to receive a refund. Ritons will provide a prepaid label for consumers to return the recalled products.
Magnets are 3 mm (0.1 inch) in diameter and encased in clear plastic packaging labeled '1000 Magnets' and '3MM'.
