Adobe Connect Promotional Materials Package

Description

This recall involves high-powered magnet sets distributed with Adobe "Effective Collaboration is Magnetic" promotional materials. The promotional materials were distributed in a green box with a black lid and contain 12 high-powered magnets which are magnetically affixed to a laminated green cardboard sheet. The spherical silver magnets are about 5 millimeters in diameter. The text "With Adobe Connect it all just clicks" is printed in a circular shape around the magnets.

Hazards

When two or more magnets are swallowed, they can link together inside a child's intestines and clamp onto body tissues, causing intestinal obstructions, perforations, sepsis and death. Internal injury from magnets can pose serious lifelong health effects.

Reported injuries

The firm has received no reports of incidents or injuries. CPSC has received 80 reports of incidents involving ingestion of other high-powered magnets, resulting in 79 reports seeking medical intervention.
