from Dr. Howard Smith Reports · host Howard G. Smith MD, AM
Vidcast: https://www.instagram.com/p/DP14MsvjxEX/The 3-millimeter magnetic balls in these 1000 piece sets violate the mandatory US safety standard for toys because they contain loose, high-powered magnets that can be easily swallowed by children. If ingested, the magnets can attract each other or other metal objects inside the digestive system, leading to intestinal perforations, twisting or blockage, blood poisoning, and even death.About 5,800 sets were sold on Amazon from November 2024 through August 2025.Stop allowing your children to play with these recalled magnetic ball sets.
