Stateside Bead Supply is recalling about 450 "Magnetic Beads HIGH POWER 5mm AAA Grade" because they violate federal safety regulations for magnets. These gun metal gray, spherical magnets were sold as strands in clear plastic bags between November 2022 and June 2023 for approximately $7 to $9. Consumers should immediately stop using these magnets and contact the company to receive a pre-paid return label for a full refund.
If swallowed, these high-powered magnets can attract each other through intestinal walls, 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 thousands of hospital visits and several deaths related to similar magnet ingestions.
Consumers should stop using the recalled magnetic beads immediately, take them away from children and contact Stateside Bead Supply to receive a pre-paid label to return the recalled products for a full refund. Stateside Bead Supply is notifying all known purchasers directly.
Sold as a strand in a clear plastic bag with Stateside Bead Supply printed on the label. About 450 units affected.
