Hazard

The product presents a high risk of choking as the small magnetic balls would be regarded as capable of causing a choking hazard for a child under 3 years of age. If two or more magnets were swallowed, there is a risk that the magnets become drawn to each other in the digestive system, which could cause serious injury or death if medical attention is not sought immediately.
