Product: N/A
Hazard: This product poses a serious risk of choking & internal injuries. The magnets were found to be too powerful, with a flux index in excess of 600 kG2mm², which is more than the maximum permitted of 50 kG2mm² for small detachable magnets in toys. The metal tips of the darts which held the magnets were threaded and screwed onto the plastic shafts but were easily detachable and fitted into a truncated cylinder for small parts. If two or more magnets are swallowed, there is a risk that the magnets become drawn to each other in the digestive system, which could cause severe injury or death if rapid medical attention is not sought.
Corrective Action: Withdrawal of the product from the market.
