Hazard
The product presents a risk of internal injuries as it contains high powered magnets that are easily accessible. When two or more high-powered magnets are swallowed, either intentionally by younger children or accidentally by older children, the ingested magnets can attract to each other, or to 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.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
