Boao Drink Glass Charms
- Affected
- 12 Pieces Crystal Magnetic Glass Charm Magnetic Drink Markers
- The problem
- The backing magnet is likely to fall into the user’s drink due to it’s positioning, so the magnet can be swallowed during drinking. If two or more magnets are swallowed, there is a risk that the magnets become drawn to each other in the digestive system, which could cause severe injury or death if rapid medical attention is not sought.
- What to do
- The listings have been taken down. If you bought one, stop using it and contact the seller for a refund.
