Hazard

The product presents a high risk of injuries as, when tested, the small magnets were found to have a magnetic flux index greater than 50 kG²mm², with flux indexes ranging from 101 kG²mm² to 143 kG²mm², which is at least twice the maximum permissible limit. Small, high-powered magnetic products can be easily swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract. The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
