The CPSC found that the magnets were smaller and stronger than permitted under federal regulations. The toys were sold on Amazon for about $25 and have led to an estimated 2,400 magnet ingestions treated in hospitals from 2017 through 2021. The seller, Doraemon, has not agreed to recall the magnetic ball sets or offer a remedy to consumers.
