Why it's dangerous

ChokingInjuries

The adhesive bond between the closure strips and the bag film. As a result, the closure strips may detach partially or completely during use, causing the product to lose its intended function and potentially releasing the enclosed magnets. The magnets constitute small parts. A child can put them in the mouth and choke. Moreover, if a child swallows them, they could attract one another causing intestinal blockage or perforation.
