magnestic · Magnetic neodym, Magentkugeln 216, Magnetwürfel
The presentation of the magnetic balls is particularly attractive to small children and, due to their size and shape, they could be put in the mouth, posing the risk of choking. The product poses a risk of injuries (intestinal blockage) because the balls have a high magnetic flux value and if more than one small magnet is swallowed, they can be attracted to one another through the gut wall, causing perforation or blockage. The product does not comply with the Toy Safety Directive and with the relevant European standard EN71-1.
