Summary

Product Safety Report for Caprilite Ltd Magnetic Stud Earrings presenting a medium risk of injuries.

The risk

No warnings were present that these products should not be worn on other body parts, such as inside the nose or mouth. The Jewellery may be positioned so that both magnets are worn inside the mouth, for example, either side of the tongue.

4 individual studs were tested equating to 8 magnets. 2 back magnets and 1 front magnet were above the 50 kG2mm2 parameter.

If two or more magnets are swallowed, there is a risk that the magnets become drawn to each other in the digestive system, which could cause severe injury or death if rapid medical attention is not sought.

Action taken

The product has been voluntarily withdrawn from the market.

Advice to consumers

The product has been voluntarily withdrawn from the market.

The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).
