TL;DR Summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall for the Relax 5mm Science Kit sold on Walmart.com due to the toy's powerful magnetic balls that exceed federal magnetic strength standards and pose ingestion hazards to children. The magnets can cause severe internal damage, including blockages, perforations, and even death. No injuries from this product have been reported, but there have been cases of magnet ingestion leading to hospital visits and deaths in the past. The kits, sold by Joybuy Marketplace Express, have been removed from Walmart's website.
