Reported risk: Health Canada's sampling and evaluation program has determined that the magnets do not meet the magnetic force requirements of the Toys Regulation s and pose an ingestion hazard. The results of swallowing small powerful magnets can be very serious and life-threatening. Swallowing incidents have often resulted in considerable damage to the gastrointestinal tissues and required emergency surgical treatment. For survivors, there can be long-term health consequences. As of May 7, 2021, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries. For more information on the danger of swallowing magnets, please see magnet safety .
