SCS Direct is recalling approximately 106,000 Magnet Balls manipulative magnet sets because the high-powered magnets can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. The recall includes 'The Original' and 'Rainbow Bright' interactive sets, which each contain 216 spherical magnets sold in silver cylindrical tins. While no injuries have been reported for this specific brand, the CPSC has received 80 reports of similar magnet ingestions resulting in 79 medical interventions. Consumers should immediately stop using these magnets and contact the manufacturer for a $20 store credit.
If two or more magnets are swallowed, they can magnetically attract to each other through the walls of the intestines. This can cause the magnets to clamp onto body tissue, leading to intestinal obstructions, perforations, sepsis, and potentially death.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled magnets and contact SCS Direct for instructions on returning the product for a $20 store credit.
