Risk and measures

Risk or hazard
The product contains small, high-powered magnets. The product exceeds the maximum allowable magnetic flux index set by the permanent ban on certain small, high powered magnets, prescribed in Consumer Protection Notice No 5 of 2012 'Imposition of permanent ban on small, high powered magnets'. If a child swallows more than one small high powered magnet, the magnets can stick together across the walls of the child's intestine or other digestive tissue, which can lead to internal injuries and even death. The magnets may pose a choking hazard to young children (small parts).
Recommendations
Consumers should immediately stop using the product. Digit Fidgets will contact consumers directly to organise a refund or replacement. For more information, consumers can contact Digit Fidgets via email at sales@digitfidgets.com.au
