CPSC recall 24-147, announced March 7, 2024, covers Getallfun 216-Piece 5mm Magnet Balls (about 1,140 units). CPSC testing determined 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 magnets immediately, take them away from children and contact Getallfun.com to receive a pre-paid label to return the recalled products. Recall contact: go to getallfun.com/pages/product-recall, or email info@getallfun.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 5mm Magnetic Balls 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 216 magnetic balls in various colors and encased in a clear, plastic case and a portable tin storage box.
Confirm these details on the official CPSC noticeWhy it was recalled
CPSC testing determined 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 involving the ingestion of hazardous magnets, including two outside of the United States.
Official remedy
Consumers should stop using the recalled magnets immediately, take them away from children and contact Getallfun.com to receive a pre-paid label to return the recalled products. Upon receipt of the products, consumers will receive a full refund. Getallfun is notifying all known purchasers directly.
