Hazard

Some of the magnets that were small parts were also found to have excessively high magnetic strength. Small, high-powered magnetic products can be easily swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
