What is the Problem?
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the recalled magnetic fidget pill toy violates mandatory federal regulations for magnets, posing an ingestion hazard to children. The recall states, “When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or another metal object, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning, or death.”
A recent ABC News article quoted the medical journal BMJ Injury Prevention, which stated that over the last decade, between 522 and 2,000 cases of magnet ingestion per year were reported.
