Daoen Recalls Zen Magnetic Promotional Ball Sets Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Magnet Ingestion; Violate Mandatory Standard for Toys
By MPB Safety Desk · Reviewed by Faruk Talmaç
Hazard
The recalled magnetic balls violate the mandatory standard for toys because they are loose high-powered magnets, posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.
What parents need to know
Daoen is recalling its Zen-branded magnetic ball sets. These are fidget toy sets containing four textured, silicone magnetic balls in silver, light brown, tan, and bronze colors. Each ball is approximately 1.24 inches in diameter and the sets come in a round, zippered case.
The recall is due to a risk of serious injury or death from magnet ingestion. The recalled magnetic balls are loose, high-powered magnets that violate the mandatory standard for toys. If swallowed, these magnets can attract each other or other metal objects within the digestive system.
This attraction can lead to serious internal injuries, including perforations, twisting, or blockage of the intestines, potentially causing blood poisoning and death.
Consumers should immediately stop using these magnetic ball toys, take them away from children, and dispose of them. Please refer to the full official notice for detailed instructions on the remedy process.
