In cooperation with the Consumer product Safety Commission, Strong Force, Inc. urges purchasers of NeoCube magnet sets to immediately discard the sets, including all of the component magnets. The HSMAG has warned consumers that if two or more magnets are swallowed, they can link together inside a child's intestines and clamp onto body tissues, causing severe injuries. Internal injury from magnets can pose serious lifelong health effects.
NeoCube sets contain small high-powered magnets and are accordingly labeled “Not intended for ages under 14.†These sets and all of their component magnets must be kept away from children under the age of 14 at all times. If these small magnets are found by young children despite this warning, they can potentially be swallowed.
Please stop using the product and immediately discard the magnet set in a safe manner. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission staff requests that you properly dispose of any products in accordance with local and/or state environmental regulation(s).
Unfortunately, we are unable to compensate customers with a refund or replacement.
Symptoms associated with swallowing magnets included abdominal pains, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. If you suspect magnets have been swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
