This product is a pen-shaped toy made with small, detachable magnets, marketed as a fidget or desk toy.

Fidget Magnetic Pen

The Fidget Magnetic Pen is a novelty pen made up of several small magnetic pieces that can be assembled and taken apart. It is often used by children, teens, and adults as a fidget toy or desk accessory, and is commonly found in toy stores, gift shops, and online retailers.

What’s the risk?

Small, powerful 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 in young children.
