The product, in the report: Product name: Hello Kitty [REDACTED] Wireless Earbuds with Rotating Charging Case Brand/character: Sanrio (Hello Kitty) Retailer: Five Below Product type: Wireless earbuds / charging case Hazard: Small magnets detached from device during normal handling
I purchased Hello Kitty [REDACTED] wireless earbuds with a rotating charging case from Five Below. The product is a Sanrio-licensed item.
Immediately after opening the package and attempting to rotate the charging case in order to connect the charging cable, multiple small magnets fell out of the case during normal handling. The magnets appear to be part of the rotating closure mechanism but were not securely enclosed within the product.
The magnets detached instantly without any forceful use, modification, or damage to the product. This occurred the first time the product was handled after opening the packaging.
The loose magnets immediately created a hazardous situation in my household. My dog attempted to ingest the magnets, and I had to quickly remove them from the animals mouth. Small high-powered magnets pose a well-documented ingestion hazard because if swallowed they can attract through internal tissue and cause serious injury.
There are no visible warnings on the packaging indicating the presence of detachable magnets or potential ingestion hazards. The magnets are small enough to easily be swallowed by a child or pet if they become detached from the product.
Because the magnets detached during normal use immediately after opening the package, this appears to be a potential manufacturing or product design defect that could pose a serious safety risk.
Photos of the magnets, the charging case where the magnets detached, and the packaging are available.
