Critical Warnings
Magnet safety
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Never put magnets in mouth. If swallowed, magnets can be forced together in the intestines or bowels, squeezing tissue so blood supply is cut off. Ingesting magnets can cause significant internal damage within hours and be life-threatening. Seek medical attention immediately if you suspect a magnet has been swallowed.
Separate magnets by sliding one from the other using a sideways motion. Once separated, keep the free magnet moving away until a safe distance from the other(s) to avoid them snapping back together.
Do not "snap" magnets back together — this can cause them to break and broken pieces may fly off and cause injury.
Broken magnets can be sharp; if you break a magnet treat them as carefully as you would broken glass.
Always keep a safe distance (at least 10cm) between magnets and objects that can be damaged by magnetism.
Magnets can have a dangerous effect on medical implants such as pacemakers. We do not recommend use of our magnets by, or near, a person fitted with a pacemaker or similar device.
Our magnets are nickel-plated, which can cause an allergic reaction in some people. Avoid long-term contact with nickel-plated magnets and totally avoid contact if you already have a nickel allergy.
Magnets should always be disposed of carefully and in accordance with applicable laws. Never dispose of magnetic material into watercourses.
Keep Magnets Out of Reach of Children
If swallowed, magnets can be forced together in the intestines or bowels, squeezing the tissue so that the blood supply is cut off. Ingesting magnets can cause significant internal damage within hours and be life-threatening. They can also be choking hazards.
If you think your child has swallowed a magnet, take them straight to the nearest A&E (EMERGENCY) department or call 999 (UK) for an ambulance.
