DailySale Magnetic DIY Balls Magic Cube Recalled for Ingestion Hazard

DailySale Inc. is recalling its 216-piece 5mm Magnetic DIY Balls Magic Cube because the high-powered magnets violate federal toy safety regulations. When swallowed, the magnets can lodge in the digestive system and cause serious injury or death.

What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly documents seven deaths since 2005 involving ingestion of hazardous magnets, including two outside the United States. Per the severity rubric, documented fatalities automatically warrant a Critical (score 5) classification regardless of other factors.

Plain-English summary

DailySale Inc. of Pompano Beach, Florida is recalling approximately 105 units of the 216-piece 5mm Magnetic DIY Balls Magic Cube. The product consists of small, loose, separable neodymium rare-earth magnets sold in a set of colored balls, packaged in a clear plastic case and tin storage box.

The magnets do not comply with federal toy safety regulations because they contain magnets that fit within CPSC's small parts cylinder and are stronger than permitted by law. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract to each other or to another metal object and become lodged in the digestive system, potentially causing perforations, twisting, and blockage of the intestines, as well as infection and blood poisoning.

The recalled product was sold online at www.dailysale.com from July 2021 through May 2022 for approximately $30. Consumers should stop using the magnetic balls immediately, keep them away from children, and contact DailySale for a pre-paid return label and full refund. DailySale is notifying known purchasers directly and can be reached by email at [email protected] or at https://dailysale.com/pages/recall.
