Buckyballs® High Powered Magnets Sets manufactured by Maxfield and Oberton, LLC of New York, NY have been recalled by the manufacturer, because the product fails to meet the mandatory toy standard F963-08 that went into effect on August 17, 2009 requiring that powerful magnets of the type and kind that form the subject of this recall NOT be sold for use by children under the age of 14. Magnets found by young children can be swallowed or aspirated. If more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforations or blockages which can result in injury or death. This recall involves the Buckyballs® high powered magnets sets labeled "Ages 13+". The set contains 216 powerful rare earth magnets. It is intended to build unlimited shapes and patterns. Since March 2010, Buckyballs® high powered magnets sets were labeled "Keep Away From All Children" and are not being recalled. Consumers should immediately remove the magnets from children under the age of 14 and contact Maxfield and Oberton for instructions on receiving a refund upon return of a complete set of magnets by calling 888.847.8716 between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. CT Monday through Friday or visit the firm's website at www.maxfieldandobertonsafety.com.
