Product Safety Warning Details

Description:

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Honestcoolstore's magnetic balls. The magnetic balls violate the mandatory standard for toys because they are stronger than permitted and pose a risk of serious injury or death if ingested by children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.

CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, Erdfvbvb, of China, doing business as Honestcoolstore. The firm has been unresponsive to CPSC requests for a recall.

About 1,600 magnetic ball sets were sold online on Amazon from November 2024 through July 2025 for about $35. The magnetic balls may have also been sold by various third-party sellers and on other websites. The 3 mm (0.1 inch) magnets were sold in sets of 1,010 multi-colored balls that are separable and have a strong magnetic flux. The magnets are packaged in a clear, plastic box and have "Building Magnet-Balls Toys" printed on the front of the packaging.

These products were manufactured in China.

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the magnetic ball sets immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous magnetic ball sets.
