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.
