The magnet sets pose a danger to children, as they can be ingested, causing a potential blockage or perforation in the intestinal tract. Swallowing such magnets can be serious, even fatal.
Customers are advised to stop using the recalled sets and contact their municipality for instructions on how to dispose of the magnets.
From July 2010 to July 2013, approximately 190,000 recalled Nanodots magnet sets were sold in Canada.
