Approximately 10 million Zen Magnets and Neoballs high-powered 5 mm spherical magnets are being recalled because they pose a severe ingestion hazard. If two or more of these powerful magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other through internal tissues, causing intestinal perforations, blockages, infection, blood poisoning, and death. There have been two reports of children requiring surgery to remove Zen Magnets and portions of their intestines, and one death of a 19-month-old girl involving similar high-powered magnets.
The magnets can become lodged in the digestive system and attract one another across intestinal walls, leading to life-threatening perforations, twisting of the bowels, and severe infection. Surgery is required to remove the magnets and often results in the removal of damaged sections of the intestines.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled magnets and contact Zen Magnets LLC for a refund.
