CPSC Sets New Safety Standard for Small Magnets, Magnet Sets
September 21, 2022 |Consumer Product Safety Commission

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is issuing a new product safety standard to address hazards associated with ingestion of high-powered magnets, it said in a Sept. 21 final rule. The new standard sets a maximum strength for magnets that fit inside the CPSC’s small parts cylinder and that are to be used for entertainment, jewelry (including children's jewelry), mental stimulation and stress relief. Toys and magnets sold to educators, researchers, professionals and commercial or industrial users for those purposes are exempt. The final rule takes effect Oct. 21.
