Magnetic-Drinkware-Charms-Recalled-Due-to-Risk-of-Serious-Injury-or-Death-from-Magnet-Ingestion-Violate-Mandatory-Standard-for-Magnets-Sold-on-Amazon-by-Maitys

Reason for Recall

The recalled magnetic drinkware charms violate the mandatory standard for magnets because they contain loose magnets posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.
