Daoen Recalls Zen Magnetic Promotional Ball Sets Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Magnet Ingestion; Violate Mandatory Standard for Toys
What's being recalled
Zen Fidget Magnetic Ball Sets
Units: About 1,000
This recall involves Zen-branded magnetic balls. The fidget toy sets consist of four textured, silicone silver, light brown, tan and bronze magnetic balls. Each ball measures about 1.24 inches in diameter. The ball sets come in a round, zippered case with or without a white Gordon Sinclair logo printed on them.
The problem, in CPSC's words
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.
Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC
None reported
What CPSC says to do
Dispose
Consumers should stop using the recalled magnet ball toys immediately, take them away from children and dispose of them.
