CPSC recall 24-097, announced February 1, 2024, covers DailySale Magnetic DIY Balls Magic Cube, 5mm (about 105 units). The magnetic ball sets do not comply with the requirements of the mandatory federal toy regulation because they contain one or more magnets that fit within CPSC's small parts cylinder and the magnets are stronger than permitted. The notice cites 7 deaths. Consumers should stop using the recalled magnetic balls immediately, take them away from children, and contact DailySale to receive a pre-paid label to return the recalled magnetic balls for a full refund. Recall contact: go to dailysale.com/pages/recall, or email recall@dailysale.com.
Compare the model on your label, then check any serial numbers, date codes, and exclusions in the notice. A model match alone does not confirm that your unit is included.
The CPSC data does not provide a discrete model-number list for this record. Compare the product description and identification details on the official notice.
Which products are included?
This recall involves 216-piece 5mm Magnetic DIY Balls Magic Cubes which are small, spherical, loose and separable neodymium rare-earth magnets with a strong magnetic flux. The 5mm-diameter magnets are sold in a set of colored magnetic balls. The recalled Magnetic Balls Magic Cubes were sold encased in a clear, plastic case and a tin storage box.
Confirm these details on the official CPSC noticeWhy it was recalled
The magnetic ball sets do not comply with the requirements of the mandatory federal toy regulation because they contain one or more magnets that fit within CPSC's small parts cylinder and the magnets are stronger than permitted. 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 and death.
Incidents and injuries
None reported. CPSC estimates 2,400 magnet ingestions were treated in hospital emergency departments from 2017 through 2021. CPSC is aware of seven deaths since 2005 involving the ingestion of hazardous magnets, including two outside of the United States.
Official remedy
Consumers should stop using the recalled magnetic balls immediately, take them away from children, and contact DailySale to receive a pre-paid label to return the recalled magnetic balls for a full refund. DailySale is notifying all known purchasers directly.
