Magnet Safety & Warnings

Keep magnets away from children under 6. Our magnets are small and strong. Like any small magnet, they are a choking hazard, and if more than one is swallowed they can attract to each other through the intestinal wall and cause serious internal injury. This is a medical emergency, not a wait-and-see.

If you think a child has swallowed a magnet, go to an emergency room right away. Don't wait for symptoms.

We say this plainly because it matters more than a sale does. If you have a toddler in the house, hang your display above their reach and keep the spare magnets somewhere they can't get to.

Other things worth knowing. Keep magnets away from pacemakers, hearing aids and other implanted medical devices. Keep them off credit cards, hotel keys and anything else with a magnetic stripe. They can also affect older electronics and mechanical watches.

Handling. Let magnets come together gently rather than snapping them — they can pinch fingers and can chip if they strike hard.

Our displays themselves are powder-coated steel with no sharp edges, and they mount flush to the wall. It's the loose magnets that need the care, not the display.
