Summary
CPSC recall database updated with four new active product recalls: high-powered magnets (22,624 units), magnetic balls (1,000 units), coin batteries (8,000 units), and luminous fidget spinners (1,000 units). All pose ingestion hazards to children.
Why it matters
Sellers offering these recalled products must immediately cease sales and initiate takedown/refund processes. Continued sale of recalled items violates federal safety law and exposes sellers to enforcement action, account suspension, and liability.
Recommended action
Cross-reference inventory against CPSC recall database weekly. Remove all four recalled SKUs from live listings immediately. Flag suppliers and initiate customer refund protocols. Document compliance evidence for audit.
The magnets violate the mandatory safety standard for magnets because the high-powered magnets fit within CPSC’s small parts cylinder and are stronger than permitted, posing a deadly ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.
Consumers should stop using the magnets immediately and contact Mini War Gaming for instructions on how to obtain a prepaid shipping label and return the products for a full refund.

The recalled magnetic balls violate the mandatory standard for toys because they are loose high-powered magnets, posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.
Consumers should stop using the recalled magnet ball toys immediately, take them away from children and dispose of them.

The recalled coin batteries are not in child-resistant packaging and do not bear the warning labels required under Reese’s Law. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death.
Consumers should stop using the coin batteries immediately, place them in an area that children cannot access and contact Proudly American Store for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to dispose of the batteries according to local hazardous waste guidelines.
Note:
Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.
