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 recalled

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 risk

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. None reported
