Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of injuries and choking as when tested, the product broke apart when minimal force was applied, allowing access to the magnets. These magnets were found to have a magnetic flux index greater than the maximum permissible level.
Small, high-powered magnetic products can easily be swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract. The product also requires improvement to marking, labelling and documentation.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
Corrective action
