About 9,300 Based Online Fidget Magnet Ball Toys sold on Amazon are being recalled. The toys contain loose high-powered magnets that children can swallow, potentially causing intestinal blockage or death.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The toys pose a high risk of serious intestinal injury or death through magnet ingestion, but no injuries have been reported. Per the severity rubric, this qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, resulting in a High (3) severity score.

Plain-English summary

Based Online Fidget Magnet Ball Toys consist of four textured, silicone-covered magnet balls in white, yellow, blue, and purple. Each ball measures approximately 1.24 inches in diameter and comes in a black fabric zippered case with no identifying marks.

These toys violate the mandatory safety standard for toys because they contain loose high-powered magnets that pose an ingestion hazard to children. When swallowed, the magnets can attract each other or other metal objects in the digestive system, becoming lodged and potentially causing intestinal perforations, twisting, blockages, blood poisoning, and death.

Approximately 9,300 units were sold through Amazon.com from February 2025 through October 2025 for about $6 per set. The product was distributed by Xiaofei He, dba Based Online, of China. No injuries have been reported to date.

Consumers should immediately stop using these toys and keep them away from children. Consumers should throw away the magnet balls and contact Based Online at [email protected] with a photo of the disposal to receive a full refund.
