Reason for Recall / Hazard
The magnet-lined closures of these products can fail and may cause the magnets to be released from the closure.
Product Description & Identification
Reason / Defects: The magnet-lined closures of these products can fail and may cause the magnets to be released from the closure. Hazards: If more than one small high-powered magnet is swallowed, the ingested magnets can stick together across the walls of the intestine or other digestive tissue, which can lead to serious internal injuries and even death. The magnets may pose a choking hazard to young children (small parts). An incident has occurred in the United States where a young child swallowed a magnet from the cooler bag.
