Chill Pill Magnetic Haptic Fidget Toys recalled due to ingestion hazard

FidgetThings is recalling Chill Pill Magnetic Haptic Fidget Toys Red Bumpy because they violate federal magnet regulations and pose a risk of serious injury or death if swallowed by children.

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 text explicitly states risk of death from ingestion of high-powered magnets, meeting the Critical threshold under the rubric. Although no fatalities have been reported, the hazard involves a serious injury or death scenario, which qualifies as Critical for a product with known lethality risk.

Plain-English summary

FidgetThings, of Las Vegas, Nevada, is recalling Chill Pill Magnetic Haptic Fidget Toys Red Bumpy. The product is a magnetic fidget pill toy shaped like a pill capsule that separates into two magnetic halves—a white base and a red bumpy section. The toy measures about two inches and is sold in a mock prescription bottle measuring about 3 inches. About 112 units were distributed exclusively online through FidgetThings.com from October 2022 through February 2025 for about $10.

The recalled toys violate mandatory federal regulations for magnets. When the high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other or another metal object and become lodged in the digestive system. This can cause perforations, twisting, or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning, and death. No injuries or illnesses have been reported.

Consumers should stop using the toys immediately and take them away from children. To return the toy for a full refund or for disposal instructions, contact FidgetThings via email at [email protected]. FidgetThings is notifying all known purchasers directly.
