The risk
The magnets violate the mandatory safety standard for magnets because the high-powered magnets fit within CPSC's small parts cylinder and are stronger than permitted, posing a deadly ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets 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
What to do
Consumers should stop using the magnets immediately and contact MiniWarGaming for instructions on how to obtain a prepaid shipping label and return the products for a full refund. Contact MiniWarGaming at 888-561-6860 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email at support@miniwargaming.com, or online at https://forge.miniwargaming.com/pages/recalls or https://forge.miniwargaming.com/ and click "Recall" at the top of the page for more information.
