Hazard
The product has been identified as presenting a high risk of choking and internal injuries as the two magnetic baitfish on line detaches on abuse and are small parts. A young child may put a small part in its mouth and the parents may notice in time, so the small part can block the child’s airways and cause the child to choke.
The magnetic toy was also found to have a magnetic flux index of up to 137.72 KG²mm², greater than the maximum permissible level of 50 KG²mm². Small, high-powered magnetic products can be easily swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract.
