Issue

Small parts containing magnets can detach from product posing a choking and 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 July 30, 2025, the company has received one incident report of the magnets detaching in Canada, and 31 reports of incidents in the United States, UK, and Singapore.
