Risk and measures
- Risk or hazard
- Rare earth magnets are small and powerful magnetic balls that can be used to build sculptures, puzzles, patterns, shapes, etc. Small, powerful magnets can be easily swallowed by children of all ages, posing serious and potentially life-threatening risks. When more than one powerful magnet is swallowed in a short period of time, the magnets can attract one another while moving through the intestines. This can cause the intestines to twist, creating blockages or tearing of the intestinal walls. As of March 27, 2023, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.
