Based Online Fidget Magnet Ball Toy Sets, sold on Amazon.com, contain four silicone-covered magnet balls in a black zippered case. They were recalled because the loose high-powered magnets violate the federal toy standard, and if swallowed they can attract each other inside the digestive system, causing serious injury or death.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the recalled magnet ball toys immediately, take them away from children and contact Based Online to receive a full refund. Consumers should throw the magnet ball toys away and email photo of the disposal to Based Online at recall@mail.goclimber.cn.

Official notice

CPSC's own wording, unchanged.

Hazard

The magnet ball toys 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.
