First aid
Made Sep 3, 2016, sent to the company Sep 13, 2016, published by CPSC Sep 27, 2016

The product, in the report: 3” x 0.5” x 0.5” Neodymium bar magnet.

During installation into a wood piece I was making, while sitting still, the neodymium bar magnets purchased at Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0181LX5Q0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, where breaking and shattering at random intervals sending small parts with sharp points, sharp edges, and very strong magnetic forces all over the room. These pieces were the since of small neodymium spheres, except they were covered in sharp points and edges. While picking them up, the sharp edges and sharp points gave me lots of deep scratches and scraps and removing all magnetic splinters was difficult due to the strength of the magnets.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(9/22/2016) CMS Magnetics, Inc.: To whom it may concern,
In regards to the CPSC complaint 20160903-645C1-2147414493, I have reviewed the report of harm and I would like to comment that Neodymium magnets are very powerful and need to be handled with caution, and to bring this to our customer’s attention we attach a warning label to each and every product we sell. In this case, the magnets attracting to each other “at random intervals” is to be expected, along with the magnets breaking into pieces if they are allowed to do so. All neodymium magnets are manufactured through a process called sintering, in which an extremely fine and uniform powder is compressed to form a solid instead of using a molten material to create a solid metal. Considering the material and makeup, they’re inherently brittle and will fracture if they are dropped or allowed to collide with each other, either deliberately or inadvertently.
While it is impossible to know how exactly the magnets will fracture, what can be expected is the manner in which they will break and what happens when they do. A magnet of this size can be expected to break, but due to the composition of the material they will break much like ceramic material would meaning it would be highly unlikely, if not impossible, for the fragments to take on the shape of spheres. They mostly form large chunks or flakes that remain attached to each other. Another property of magnets when they break is that the pieces that result from that are still magnetized and the mass of broken magnets will then attract to each other. Fragments will not scatter everywhere.
If your magnets do happen to break, then it is advised to dispose of them promptly to avoid injury due to the broken magnets. They will not scatter around and leave sharp fragments everywhere, but once a magnet is broken it is not longer in its original form, it is dangerous to keep broken magnets and it is the responsibility of the consumer to dispose of them accordingly. As long as safety procedures are followed, neodymium magnets can be handled in a safe and predictable manner.
