Should I get rid of our Magnatiles?

[Anonymous]

Ahm.. magnets, especially the stronger magnets that you celebrate.

If it is true, and it is, that magnets produce a far-reaching, strong magnetic field. They could damage TVs and laptops, computer hard drives, credit and ATM cards, data storage media, mechanical watches, hearing aids and speakers if those objects are too close, then think about possible impact on the cellular DNA in the child's body.

Magnets should really not be present in kids toys, for the younger crowd they pose serious risk if swallowed,
for the rest, they are not safe to handle or be nearby for extended amount of time.

Additional fun facts;

Neodymium magnets are brittle. Colliding magnets could crack.
Sharp splinters could be catapulted away for several meters and injure your eyes.
Avoid the collision of magnets.
Wear safety glasses when handling larger magnets.
Make sure that nearby people are also protected or keep their distance


Nickel allergy
Many of our magnets contain nickel, also those without nickel coating.
Some people have an allergic reaction when they come into contact with nickel.
Nickel allergies could develop from perpetual contact with nickel-plated objects.
Avoid perpetual skin contact with magnets.
Avoid contact with magnets if you already have a nickel allergy.

Influence on people
According to the current level of knowledge, magnetic fields of permanent magnets do not have a measurable positive or negative influence on people. It is unlikely that permanent magnets constitute a health risk, but it cannot be ruled out entirely.
For your own safety, avoid constant contact with magnets.
Store large magnets at least one metre away from your body.


Splintering of coating
Most of our neodymium magnets have a thin nickel-copper-nickel coating to protect them from erosion. This coating could splinter or crack due to collision or large pressure. This makes them vulnerable to environmental influences like moisture and they could oxidise.
Separate big magnets, especially spheres, with a piece of cardboard.
Avoid collisions of magnets as well as repeated mechanical exposure (e.g. blows, bashes).





Swallowing
Children could swallow small magnets.
If several magnets are swallowed, they could get stuck in the intestine and cause perilous complications.
Magnets are not toys! Make sure that children don't play with magnets.

Whoa. Are you some kind of .....magnet professor?

Do you generally experience this much anxiety and need for reassurance over such mundane decisions?
