Children's products have always been considered a key focus category by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, and this year there have been many accidents caused by hidden dangers in children's products, so it is worth the relevant sellers' special attention to such issues.

Recently, a children's magnet product has become the focus of the US CPSC. According to foreign media reports, a child died after accidentally swallowing a magnet. The report said that the seller of the toy was a Chinese seller on Amazon.

According to foreign media reports, in addition to this accident report, this type of product has also caused many cases of consumer injuries.

Earlier this month, CPSC published a report on a child accidentally ingesting magnets in November. A 9-year-old child was hospitalized after ingesting two Speks 2.5 magnets. The accident was similar to the above, and the ingested magnets were also magnets. In addition, in November, CPSC also reported a case where magnets in a toy set were exposed, posing a hidden danger to children's safety. The series of incidents, coupled with the fact that this type of product had frequent problems a few years ago, attracted the attention of relevant departments.

According to reports , the federal regulatory agency CPSC has launched an investigation into the death. The product has been discontinued and the seller 's store has been "closed" online . According to reports, the seller of the product is a Chinese seller. The CPSC has not yet made further contact with the seller and has not reached a more specific conclusion.

At present, the relevant person in charge on the Amazon platform has not made any specific explanation on this matter, but only warned sellers that they must comply with Amazon's relevant policies.

This year, children's products have caused many accidents due to safety hazards, and there are many product recall reports. According to previous CPSC recall reports, the categories involved are quite wide, mainly concentrated in children's clothing, toys, dining tables and chairs, etc. The safety issues are mostly fire and suffocation hazards, etc. The number of recalls ranges from dozens to thousands, or even tens of thousands.

Therefore, when selling such products, relevant sellers must strictly control quality and policies, promptly check for potential safety hazards of products, and ensure that consumers can use them safely.
