Magneticube · Amazing Magnetic Puzzle
The product poses a risk of injuries (intestinal blockage) because the balls have a too high magnetic flux value and if more than one small magnet is swallowed, they can become attracted to one another through the gut wall, causing perforation or blockage. The magnetic balls also group together easily and pose a risk of choking if swallowed by children. The product does not comply with the Toy Safety Directive and with the relevant European standard EN71-1.
