The CPSC and xpressgoods.com have recalled Colorful Metal Neodymium Magic Magnetic Balls - 8 colors, 5mm in size because these magnets are too small and too powerful.  They may be ingested, and, if two or more get into the gastrointestinal tract, they can attract leading to bowel perforations, twisting, blockages, infections, septicemia, and even death.


About 728 sets of these magnetic balls were sold at xpressgoods.com.


Take these magnetic ball sets away from your kids and and contact XpressGoods via email at [email protected] to receive a prepaid label to return the recalled products for a full refund or store credit.
