Pura Scents Recalls Detachable Covers of Smart Home Fragrance Diffusers Due to Magnet Ingestion Hazard
Reviewed and published by MPB Safety Desk
Hazard
The magnets on the inside cover can detach, posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets 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, infection, blood poisoning and death.
What parents need to know
Pura Scents has issued a recall for the detachable covers of its smart home fragrance diffusers. The magnets on the inside of these covers can detach. Pura Scents has received three reports of the magnets detaching from the cover.
The primary concern is the risk of magnet ingestion by children. If swallowed, these magnets can attract each other or other metal objects inside the body, potentially becoming lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death.
Parents should immediately stop using the detachable cover and dispose of it. Keep the diffuser itself out of the reach of children and pets at all times. Please review the official recall notice for further instructions and contact Pura Scents to receive a free replacement cover.
