This recall involves about 4,240 sets of Relax 5mm Science Kit magnetic balls, marketed as Large Hematite Magnets Magnetic Stones Building Blocks. These sets contain 216 multi-colored, high-powered magnets that are stronger than federal regulations allow and small enough to be swallowed. The products were sold exclusively on Walmart.com between February 2022 and April 2023 for approximately $14 to $15. Consumers should stop using the magnets immediately and contact Joybuy to receive a pre-paid return label for a full refund.
If swallowed, these high-powered magnets can attract each other or other metal objects inside the body, becoming lodged in the digestive system. This can lead to intestinal perforations, twisting, blockages, infection, blood poisoning, and death. While no injuries have been reported for this specific product, the CPSC is aware of seven deaths related to similar magnet ingestions.
Consumers should stop using the recalled magnetic balls immediately, take them away from children and contact Joybuy to receive a pre-paid label to return the recalled products for a full refund. Joybuy is notifying all known purchasers directly.
Sold encased in a clear plastic case and a portable tin storage box; includes a black storage bag.
