Three popular products, especially in households with children, have just been recalled. Read about the products below to see if an item you bought has been recalled. 

Toy Magnet Sets

The “Colorful Metal Neodymium Magic Magnetic Balls” have been recalled following testing from the CPSC. They learned that the magnets are stronger and smaller than they should be.

“When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or another metal object, and become lodged in the digestive system,” the CPSC said.

If a child - or anyone - swallows these magnets, they’re at risk of infection, blood poisoning, and more. The CPSC says doing so could even cause death.

If you bought one of these toy magnet sets, you are eligible for a refund. More details here.

String Lights

A popular household decor product has been recalled – string lights.
