Recall Alert: Item Being Sold In Idaho Has Killed 7 Children

You know those tiny magnetic balls that have been all the rage lately? According to a report from Yahoo News, they've been causing more harm than good.

These high-powered magnetic balls, sold exclusively on Walmart.com through Joybuy, are now under recall. And it's not just a minor issue - it's life-threatening. Seven children have tragically lost their lives, and thousands more have ended up in hospitals due to these magnets.

These aren't your everyday fridge magnets; they're super strong and tiny enough to be swallowed. If two or more magnets are ingested, they can attract inside the body, leading to serious issues like intestinal blockages, infections, and even blood poisoning. It's heart-wrenching to think about. If you're not sure if you've purchased these magnets, look at the picture below, and if you think someone you know has purchased this magnet, let them know as soon as possible. 

So, what should you do if you've bought these magnets? It's simple - stop using them immediately. And please, for the love of all things safe, keep them away from children. Joybuy is offering a full refund. Yes, you read that right - a full refund. So, please don't delay. Reach out to them immediately. They will send you a pre-paid label to return the recalled magnets for a full refund and can be reached via phone at (302) 426-4543, Monday - Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can also email the company at oversea-service@jd.com and online at www.walmart.com/seller/16214

I know how easy it is to get caught up in the latest fads, especially when they seem harmless. But let this be a reminder that safety should always come first.
