  • Brand HD Premier Inc., of Wilmington, Delaware

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

HD Premier is recalling DigitDots Magnetic Balls in 3mm and 5mm sizes due to serious ingestion hazards. When multiple high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other or to metal objects and become stuck in the digestive system, potentially causing perforations, intestinal blockage or twisting, infection, blood poisoning, and death. The recalled products are small neodymium rare-earth magnets sold as loose, separable balls in sets—3mm versions come in sets of 512 multi-colored balls, while 5mm versions come in sets of 222 silver or 224 multi-colored balls, packaged in clear disposable packaging with a plastic carrying case.

Consumers who have these products should stop using them immediately and remove them from children's access. According to the recall notice, affected consumers should contact HD Premier to receive a pre-paid shipping label to return the recalled magnets and receive a refund.

Hazard

This can result in perforations, twisting and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death.

What should I do?

Consumers should stop using the recalled magnets immediately, take them away from children and contact HD Premier to receive a pre-paid label to return the recalled products. Upon receipt of the products, consumers will receive a refund.
