Affected products
This recall involves the Chill Pill Magnetic Haptic Fidget Toys Red Bumpy. The magnetic fidget pill toy is in the shape of a pill capsule that can be separated into two magnetic halves. One magnetic half is the white base and the other magnetic half is red and bumpy. The magnets are interchangeable with other FidgetThings magnetic fidget pill toys of different colors and textures. The magnetic fidget pill toy was sold encased in a mock prescription bottle with a mock label. The magnets make a clacking sound when brought together. The magnetic fidget pill toy measures about two inches and the mock prescription bottle measures about 3 inches. The mock prescription bottle has "3DPrint Bumpy" printed on the label.
Issue
The recalled magnetic fidget pill toy poses an ingestion hazard.
Magnets that are very small can be easily swallowed or inhaled. Unlike other small objects that would be more likely to pass normally through the digestive system if swallowed, when more than one small powerful magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract one another while travelling through the digestive system. The magnets can then pinch together and create a blockage and slowly tear through the intestinal walls, causing perforations. The resulting injuries can be very serious and life-threatening.
As of May 27 2025, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.
