Hazard

The product has been deemed unsafe due to its small parts. If a child were to put this product in their mouth, there is a potential for them to choke. Also, the magnets themselves had a magnetic flux density of 211.3 kg2mm2, higher than the maximum permitted of 50 kg2mm2. Furthermore, if the child detaches more than one magnet and the parent does not notice, the magnets may attract each other in the intestines, damaging the child’s digestive system and causing internal wounds. The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
