Summary

The risk

In this case, the metal tips of the darts which held the magnets were threaded and screwed onto the plastic shafts but were easily detachable and would fit into a truncated cylinder for small parts. The magnets were found to be too powerful, with a flux index in excess of 600 kG2mm².
This product does not meet the requirements of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
