Safety guidelines
Children
Children should not be allowed to handle the magnetic hoops or the neodymium magnets that are a part of
the product as they can be dangerous. Children and adults should not ingest magnets or place magnets in any
body orice such the ear, nose or mouth. Ingestion of magnets is very hazardous. If magnets are ingested or
aspirated to the lungs, immediate medical attention is required.
Pinch and Eye Hazard
The magnetic hoops and magnets included in this product can pose a serious pinch hazard due to their
attractive force on each other and to any object containing iron. Usually surprise is an issue--they can jump
out of your hands and snap together from a surprising distance before you realize what is happening.
Fingers and other body parts can get severely pinched between two attracting hoops or items. Keep items
like scissors, pins, and any other items that contain metal out of your work area.
Disposal
The rare-earth magnets in this product should never be burned, as burning will create toxic fumes.
Rare-earth magnets should be disposed of in compliance with local, state, and Federal law. All strong
permanent magnets should be thermally demagnetized prior to disposal. Alternatively, all strong permanent
magnets should be placed in a steel container prior to disposal so the magnets do not attract waste disposal
equipment or refuse containers.
