CPSC Warns: High-Powered Magnetic Balls Sold on Amazon Pose Serious Child Ingestion Risks

 On April 24, 2025, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a critical warning about Shenzhen Xiaoju magnetic balls sold on Amazon, which pose a severe ingestion hazard for children. These high-powered magnetic toys violate federal safety regulations and can cause serious internal injuries if swallowed. Parents and caregivers are urged to stop using these dangerous magnetic balls immediately.

Magnetic Balls Ingestion Hazard & Risks to Children

CPSC testing confirms that Shenzhen Xiaoju magnetic balls pose a severe ingestion hazard for children. These high-powered magnets are small enough to be swallowed, and if ingested, can attract each other inside a child’s intestines, causing life-threatening injuries such as:

  • Intestinal perforations from magnets attracting through intestinal walls

  • Intestinal twisting or blockages

  • Severe infections and blood poisoning

  • Death in extreme cases
    Parents and caregivers should treat these magnetic balls as a serious choking and ingestion hazard.

What Parents Should Do If They Own Shenzhen Xiaoju Magnetic Balls

If you or your children own Shenzhen Xiaoju magnetic balls purchased on Amazon, the CPSC urges the following steps to prevent injury:

  • Immediately stop using these high-powered magnetic balls

  • Dispose of them safely or take them to a local recycling facility

  • Do not sell or give away these hazardous magnetic toys

  • Report any incidents or injuries caused by these magnets to SaferProducts.gov

Following these steps helps protect children from the serious ingestion hazard posed by Shenzhen Xiaoju magnetic balls.
