An official Health Canada notice concerns 3Mm colourful round neodymium magnet balls recalled. Health Canada's sampling and evaluation program has determined that the magnets do not meet the performance criteria assessed for small powerful magnets set out in Table 3 of the general prohibitions under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act. Small, powerful magnets can be easily swallowed by children of all ages, posing serious and potentially life-threatening risks. When more than one powerful magnet is swallowed in a short period of time, the magnets can attract one another while moving through the intestines. This can cause the intestines to twist, creating blockages or tearing of the intestinal walls. As of February 19 2026, the company has received no reports of incidents in Canada, and no reports of injuries. Published 2026-03-03.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled 3mm Colourful Round Neodymium Magnet Balls and dispose of the magnets and contact AliExpress for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact AliExpress by the company website at https://helpcenter.aliexpress.com/s/BuyerHelp/ Please note that the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act prohibits recalled products from being redistributed, sold or even given away in Canada.
