3mm Colourful Round Neodymium Magnet Balls

3mm Colourful Round Neodymium Magnet Balls are tiny, powerful magnets typically used for building shapes, stress relief, or as novelty desk toys. They are often found in homes, offices, and sometimes in children’s play areas, despite not being intended as toys.

What’s the risk?

Small, strong magnets can be easily swallowed by children. If more than one magnet is swallowed, they can attract each other inside the intestines, causing blockages, twisting, or tears in the intestinal walls. This can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening injuries, especially for young children.
