Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Sobeauty Inc. is recalling approximately 600 'Mag Cube' magnetic ball sets because they contain high-powered magnets that violate federal safety standards for children's toys. If a child swallows two or more of these magnets, they can attract each other through intestinal walls, causing life-threatening blockages, perforations, or sepsis. These sets, which were sold online at Walmart.com from March 2018 through December 2019, feature 216 spherical magnets in either gold or a rainbow of six colors. Consumers should immediately stop using these sets and contact Sobeauty Inc. for a full refund including shipping and taxes.

Risk

The high-powered magnets can link together inside a child's intestines if swallowed, clamping onto body tissues and leading to serious internal injuries, permanent intestinal damage, or death. While no injuries have been reported for this specific product, the CPSC has received numerous reports of children requiring surgery after ingesting similar high-powered magnets.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your magnetic ball sets for labels including '3D MAGNETIC PUZZLE', 'MAGCUBE BUCKYBALLS', 'JOYNOTE', or 'MAG CUBE' on the back of the box or on the metal drum container.
  2. Immediately stop using the magnets and take them away from children and teens.
  3. If you purchased these magnets as a gift, notify the recipient immediately to ensure the product is removed from use.
  4. Contact Sobeauty Inc. toll-free at 844-946-7437 anytime or email recall@sobeautyinc.com for instructions on how to return the product and receive a full refund, including original shipping costs and taxes.
  5. For additional questions, contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 or visit www.cpsc.gov.
