This is slightly different to my usual videos but it was too long to include in a Short. I came across this viral magnet online and was shocked how many child safety rules it breaks. For the record, this is NOT a product for kids so if you're an adult and only use it in an environment without children then it's perfectly fine. However real life is not perfect, people with kids visit other homes, or they might end up in offices or other kid-free spaces. What's most sketchy about this product is that it appears very harmless and cute, so many people might not realise it's not something that should be kept away from kids. Toddlers also have a way of finding stuff, and the brightly coloured popit-style design is clearly attractive.

The design is SO CUTE but it should definitely not be in a household with small kids, I totally agree there!
Me too!
I was the first like on ur comment but no one cares 🥰
Yeah
How come you have so many likes but almost 0 comments 😡🤬🤬🤬
@@V10l3t_N00b cuz liking is easier than commenting...?
It's a cool design and i would love to have it on my fridge for decoration but i'm an adult without kids so there's no risk there. The product should definitively be marketed towards people aged atleast 12yrs and up.
wrong im under that a 10 yr old would not eat it unless they were a reckless stupid person
And if not, just not marketed
U rlly think a 5th grader (10-11) would swallow this?!??
@@miahishe honestly? Yes. At that age I would've swallowed anything that looks remotely edible
@@miahisheyou weren't around for the tidepod shenanigans were you.
I thought they were popit's until you showed they were actually magnets. Definitely appealing to children
You're not overreacting at all! I have seen way too many toys being recalled because of magnets! They're just too dangerous for children to play with
I also remember when Claires used to sell magnetic earrings with super strong but tiny 5mm magnets on the back. I used those for DIYs are part of my university graduate project but they've totally disappeared now! Must also be some kind of safety thing
@@maqaroonyeah. I actually had the magnetic earrings at one time and I lost all of them within a few days of purchasing
Magnets are dangerous for young children, that's why this isn't a child's toy meant for toddlers and doesn't need to be recalled. It’s definitely an overreaction to make a generalized statement telling everyone, including adults and teenagers who don’t live with small children, not to buy a product intended for adults and older kids because it happens to be dangerous for toddlers and to call it "the WORST viral product in the world"
This isn't a toy though and it's not marketed for children. If a parent buys this for a kid then that is 100% on them and no one else. It should be a no brainier that anything with small detachable parts is not something you give to young children.
I think as a product it is no more dangerous than many other household products, so I don't believe it deserves to be taken off the market. However, I think that the manufacturer should add a child safety warning to the package (here in the US they usually say something like "not for children under 3 years old")
I have both of them next to my big mom pirates collection. The magnets work well for the collapse of whole cake. Yes I am a one piece nerd.
Honestly. Hearing her reasonings, ultimately just dont buy it if its that bad. They’re magnets, not toys.
Legit concern!! I don't have kids myself but I could easily see even a pet maybe eating one. Dogs eat non food objects all the time. It should definitely have some kind of warning about being multiple smaller pieces
Yep I also thought about the risk for pets. The magnets are super weak (although still dangerous if swallowed) so they get knocked down or fall down easily.
I don’t see the need for a warning when that is literally what the product is all about
As long as you don't have kids or keep them in an office it's actually an amazing product.
The title of the video is misleading imo. It’s not the worst from any standpoint other than the clear lack of warnings. I was expecting you to be upset at the product containing dangerous chemicals since you often talk about the composition of products in craft kits.
I understand your concerns with yours and others children of course, I just think there’s a less misleading title to choose which doesn’t lean into clickbait territory.
i agree but i also thing she wanted to get traction so this could reach more eyes and possibly get to the target audience of people who bought this/are thinking of buying this and have kids/pets
@@wormzinmymilk clickbait is not the way to get that. Clickbait will promote clickbait and there's already a huge issue with that already..
@@rohsek7298 oh for sure i was just giving an explanation as to why she felt it necessary to utilize it when she doesnt normally step into that realm. she felt it was important i suppose. still a stupidly prevalent system that suppresses the majority of creators trying to be authentic
Ngl I kinda agree. I expected it to have something severely wrong with it.tho I do understand her concerns on the item, it just wasn’t what I was expecting
I'm pretty sure people can sue a company for not having warnings about choking and such, hence why even simple objects need to have instructions to ingest only if you aren't allergic/don't ingest because it's toxic/don't eat even though it's non toxic
That's not a toy, so that doesn't have the same quality controls. I don't worry about kid security when I buy things because I don't have kids. If someone have them, they should be worried about this kind of things, but not the companies, because these things aren't toys.
I think this is a bad take. It's not marketed as a kids toy and the fact that the magnets break down into smaller parts isn't a surprise, it's the whole appeal of the product. It should be up to the responsible adults around to make sure kids aren't around these kinds of items rather than being upset that the product got popular.
Idk, ,if this were a toy or in some way marketed to kids, then absolutely 100% alarm bells, but it's a product for adults. I feel the real issue is actually that the weak magnets could easily fall and be picked up by a kid or even eaten by a pet.
That's still part of her concern she mentions; that a kid could easily mistake it as food or a toy and that the magnets are still small enough to swallow.
She mentions that the product has no warnings for certain ages and that's what she's explains
You never know what's in a child's mind, for example I used to swallow coins. Why? Not even I know it. This is why warnings like this are priceless, no one will look for risk in every little thing lest they will go crazy. And even if someone's childless, these small parts could still be a risk for animals.
I'm baffled how kids manage to swallow stuff like that (I can't even manage pills as an adult 😂) but so many people remember ingesting the weirdest things a kids.
all kids are drawn to eating coins, they're shiny
I remember watching a video about a girl who swallowed some coins while trying to recreate a magic trick
@@maqaroonWhen I was a kid, there was a kid in my class that swallowed a plastic toy car out of a christmas cracker and started choking. He was 14. The teacher noticed and did the Heimlich manoeuvre on him, but kids and teenagers are a lot dumber than we think 😂
I honestly disagree. It's not a product for children, if a child swallows a magnet, the parents would be at fault, not the company.
That’s a good point and I completely agree, but the package should at least have a warning.
She says the magnets aren't strong so it could fall easily, that's definitely the company's fault if the kids pick it up from the floor after it fell
@@nekochadechuHaving this in a house with small children is unsafe period but because this product isn’t for children then it isn’t the company’s fault if a child gets their hands on it
@@nekochadechu it looked like when she said that she was trying to attach them to themselves through the thick side of material so unless they are holding something heavy I doubt they would fall and if they did it is the parents responsibility to make sure their child is in a safe environment
I literally thought it was a pop it kinda thing. Yeah it’s one of those things that we don’t think of until you’re in the position of a parent.
Giving a different perspective isn’t overreacting, it’s smart. I 100 agree bc I would have definitely bought it not thinking about that when I was 21 with my first kiddo. Your video will make over half the people who bought it with little kids put it away.
I'm down the middle on this one. I completely understand the concerns here... But when I was a toddler, any magnet on the fridge was kept out of my reach until I was over the age of 5. Like, you'd keep laundry pods and other similar things, away from kids... Be a responsibility adult and keep them away from kids, if you want the magnets?
As a veterinary technician, I would also hate to see the little magnets fall off the fridge and a cat or dog unwittingly eats them (don't think they won't, we've pulled tons of weird stuff out of animal's tummies). So it's a safety hazard for people who don't have kids too.
I think it is an overreaction with legitimate concerns and safety in mind.
And you might say "they're viral and that can influence children".
Often the children left to scroll are often older than toddlers and probably have just a smidge of sense not to eat them.
Children younger than that have no way of purchasing them, unless its through a parent.
To say that these are too dangerous for main stream use. Is to say that anything that remotely poses a threat to a child, shouldn't exist.
Regardless of who it is marketed to.
My paints come in colourful tubes, what if a child eats them?
My wall paper has fruits and has wall hooks that look like cats...
What if a child eats them?
Rubber band ball?
Paper clips?
Stationary of any kind?
Puzzles?
Home decor?
If they do pose a threat to a child. Then it falls to you as the guardian, too either store it safely or not have it at all.
If they grab it off a shelf, its your job to catch them before they hurt themselves.
They have no frame of reference, they dont understand danger.
So it falls to you, and only you to keep them safe from things that may not be so safe to such a tiny tot.
It's the equivalent of blaming a pool, for having water in it that the child could drown in.
Whilst also not teaching your child to float.
Just because its dangerous to your child doesnt mean its dangerous to everyone else.
If you think its dangerous for your child, keep it away from your child.
I definitely get the concern and think you make reasonable and valid points (I, too, have a kid, so I get it) but I don’t think it’s that bad to be declared the worst in the world.
If you must have them, just don’t put them within reach of little hands. Put them higher up on the fridge or hang your magnet boards higher. As parents, it’s really *your* responsibility to keep things out of reach that are potential hazards and decide if an item is safe to buy. It’s common sense - although I suppose that’s in short supply these days 😅
I appreciate the effort in bringing awareness to the potential hazards; I hope you’re not discouraged by the comments!
Everyone knows their kid best, if you think _your_ kid is likely to find a way to get to them regardless of your precautions, save yourself the headache (and potential tragedy) and don’t buy them until they’re no longer trying to eat everything. My kid was never a climber, so I probably wouldn’t have worried so much about it as long as they were high up - I also followed him around everywhere he wandered too _because_ he would try to put things in his mouth. Just be diligent.
You have to remember. Not every parent is a good person. Or is looking out for their kids best.
You have to remember that whenever someone makes these products review they save millions of unaware parents who don’t know better.
You have to forget whatever beliefs you held about a parents rights and care over their children.
That sounds a lot like "don't put warnings anywhere, people just have to use their common sense, but I suppose that's in short supply these days he he", kinda condescending :/ Not everyone knows the swallowing risks or magnet hazards, and accidents can happen for stupid reasons. You're yourself suggesting to put the magnet boards higher, while the magnets could fall or the kids could climb. (and they're surprisingly inventive when it comes to climb)
@@Waspinmymind if they are a bad parent it’s still not the companies fault if a child were to eat it besides even if they don’t know the risk of magnets it’s still very obviously could be a choking hazard
I agree this is a dangerous product. But your wrong on most magnets are sold as a singular unit. There are a lot of magnetic sets like this. Some look like a basket full of corn or veggies. Others look like a house with a family. But yes there needs to be a warning for sure
I have both of them next to my big mom pirates collection. The magnets work well for the collapse of whole cake. Yes I am a one piece nerd.
This reminds me of a funny story my family likes to talk about. When my aunt was a teen, she would make many bracelets and sell them at the flea market. When my family had visited, my dad had irresponsibly left me alone, and I had managed to eat a good amount of my aunts crafting supplies . No one was aware of my endeavor until my diaper was changed, luckily nothing happened the only thing that happened was my dad was forced to buy my aunt more beads(she washed the eaten beads and had used them for a embroidery project, she didn't feel right throwing away the bead and she didn't want to sell them to her customers.) The frustrating thing is that my dad never learned and he continued to allow similar things to happen with both myself and my sisters, I love my dad but he was very much irresponsible( one of the many reasons my mom divorced my dad, I honestly feel bad for my step mom sometimes)
If its not meant for kids i dont see an issue. I drink soda out of glass bottles those have tiny caps on them a kid could choke on. Just checked the bottle, no choking warning on. I burn incense and have matches which arent safe for kids. I dont think its too much to ask for adults to look at a product description and choose if its a good fit for their house hold. A product isnt stupid just because its not kid friendly. I just dont get how its a problem if the adult in the house would have had to go to the web site pick it out and buy. Like do people not read descriptions. Heck if i buy something for one of my siblings kids i check descriptions and open it to make sure its safe then i put it all back in the box.
you are assuming people are not stupid. When it comes to the consumer, always assume stupidity. It's why we have warning labels all over products. Heck, Ikea consistently warns that people need to anchor their furniture, but do people? No. That's why so many kids have been crushed. Tide pods aren't meant to be eaten, but do kids eat them? Yes. People are just that stupid
Personally I think you definitely are justified making this video to inform people but I do think we should keep in mind that the company in question most likely did not anticipate their product going viral and that with something like this the duty of care lies with the parents. I do hope they will add a warning tho
I think there may be warnings on magnets in the states but I can't be positive.
i used to work at a toy store and anytime someone wanted to buy younger kids anything with magnets, i’d strongly advise them that it could easily kill them.
used to scare the frick out of me when people would ignore me or say i was overreacting
i don’t have kids and think they’re really cute for a planing board. But i do think we can spread awareness about products like this one to parents, specially first time parents that maybe don’t know how many things can be considered a choking hazard even if they don’t really look like it, not just these magnets
Children mindset:
-pills? Nooooo, you're killing me 🥺😭😡
-not edible stuff that may kill them? Never seen such an appetizing meal! 😍🔥🤩👏🤡
According to other comments, children would rather literally swallow coins than medicine
They look like mentos omg. I get how some may dismiss it as being marketed to adults only but i think the issue is that you know it's no doubt going to be appealing to kids who might not know better. Also while it may be used correctly and well on the fridge, if the magnet is weak and drops off it poses a hazard to even pets
For a child (and possibly pet) free home, this would be a cute product. For everyone else, it's a no-go.
There's also a high possibility of the littler magnets getting lost, so this product is more a cheap novelty than something you'd keep around long term.
Glad I'm never having kids so I can have cute things in my house lol
I think its great to use your platform to bring about awareness of something that could potentially harm children. I dont think its an overreaction at all and im glad youre helping people be more aware of possible risks to children
Anything can be categorized as a hazard for small children. It’s all about perspective. I’m wondering why you purchased it if you thought it was this terrible? Also, why this one particular item? I get what you’re saying, but it’s all about using common sense. I believe a parent would be able to assess the risk and not put anyone at risk.
Not an over reaction at all!!! I was confused when I first clicked, thinking it was a stim toy myself. Thank you for sharing
I appreciate you giving this warning, just like that eating toy a while ago. Child safety is always good to talk about, even if folks don't have kids themselves.
Anybody remember Bucky Balls? They were packaged with warnings every 3mm NOT FOR UNDER 14 YEARS but ofc Karen's got them shut down. Yet Ali express still sells thousands of sets with zero warnings, but screw the independent American business who actually put warnings on them 🙄
Smh
I would say not overreacting in terms of the danger, but I do think it’s pretty obvious that it’s a choking hazard for small children. I have no children and do not spend time with any children and haven’t since I was very very young. How anyone could assume these don’t carry a choking risk for small children is genuinely beyond me. That’s common sense in my mind.
I try not to be judgmental as you don’t know what you don’t know, but this is one of those things where I’m like…really?
Thank you so much for putting out this psa, i can tell you care a lot about your daughter. In the usa, regardless of product, usually it comes with choking hazard warnings for anything with small parts.
My 9 month old thought this video was hilarious for some reason! 😂 Thank you for bringing awareness!
If your child can reach them on the fridge or freezer, get a taller one
I mean … buying it is no issue if you don’t have children
This is a great product, but should never be in the same house as a young child
Unless this was a product marketed towards kids (ie kids are playing with them in videos or photos), I would say the consumer has the responsibility to do their own research on the product. Besides I would assume the viral video probably shows them using it so the consumer should know that there are small parts.
While it would be nice to have a warning label, the creators are not obliged to do so, especially if it wasn’t marketed towards kids in the first place. Maybe they just liked the aesthetic of those rubber toys and thought it would be a cute idea as a magnet.
Honestly though, doing your own research on products you’re interested in is always good because you’re the only one who pays for your own negligence
Also I wouldn’t say you’re overreacting since you’re definitely most concerned for your child, but I do think that it isn’t the company’s fault either as many other products on the market do pose choking hazards. It all comes down to the parents deciding what to get for their child after understanding the risks. If parents are just blindly buying ‘toys’ not specifically marketed at children for their kids without knowing anything and then getting upset because it isn’t suitable for their child, then I think that’s more negligence then anything
this sounds a lot like parents with kids shouldn't buy it, if they do, TEACH the kids. everyone having issues with stuff like this lack the common sense and go immediately to complaining about stuff or wanting to sue instead of just being smart.
If anyone knows the plastic easter eggs, which are the same size as or slightly bigger than real eggs, I managed to get one of *those* lodged in my throat my second easter (I was like 1.5yrs old). My mom managed to get it out, thankfully, but it's scary just how big an object babies can fit in their mouth. All things considered, I'd say if it's not the same size as their own head, it's a risk 😅
Many magnets I own have sharp edges too, which deters anyone from trying to swallow them. Ultimately you’re correct that there should be some warning for these.
I never knew about if its smaller than/able to go through the toilet roll hole it can be swallowed by a child glad I now know!❤
Also I dont understand why they don't use stronger magnets because like you said they can fall off so if you wanted to put artwork or memo onto the fridge it can just fall off 🤦♀️🤷♀️
What if they paint it with a bitter coating? Would that be enough to discourage swallowing it? You know, like those bitter batteries
My first thought was “wow! Those look like candy melts!” Like if I think that, a kid very well might!
I think they can be easily put out of reach of children. Your toddler isn’t the same height as your fridge. Can easily be put higher. If it falls off the fridge you should notice & why would a child be near the fridge unsupervised anyways? To call it the worst viral product in the world is ridiculous and a definite overstatement.
I think its very much meant to be used on a refrigerator, to stick things upon it, very probably not a toy, But when you said the magnets were weak I definetly agree with your concern of it being a choking hazard for small children or even dogs because if they fall off of the fridge they can be grabbed off the floor.
What's more, a toddler won't only eat it cause it looks edible. Toddlers will eat anything small just because, even if it doesn't look edible.
kids r just like bullfrogs. they will eat anything that fits inside their mouth.
toads = toddlers
That's scary, you can see someone making that mistake and giving it as fun gift.
It's a cute product, but they should specify an age range for it. but at the same time it's also just on the parents for buying it for a little kid/when they have a little kids in the first place.
This sucks because this is such an amazing design and would be cool to have. But it does really seem like a big hazard. Completely agree with you!
it’s only a hazard if you have small kids or pets. otherwise it’s totally safe as long as you or other members of your household are aware that these are magnets, not food.
Love how you are raising awareness!! ❤
I agree entirely! Save it for when your daughter is 10 years older.
The idea behind these magnets is not bad, but the execution saddly can cause real problems. They should at least add some warning on the package
Yknow I think that it would look really nice as little magnets that you would put on the fridge
And each of the individual grapes could be it’s own separate magnate
Im so glad that you as a parent shares these things, because even myself, at first I thought it was a cookie. 😅
I’m grown and even I think they look tasty. That’s totally a hazard. They should put a warning on that. I couldn’t tell if it was a pop it or a chewy at first
definitely needs to have "caution: choking hazard" warning on the box, at the very least.
Kids toys with magnets, as in actual toys made for children, have already been known to cause enough problems, especially with small children who don't know any better, and that's *with* the magnets usually being fully visible. This is very dangerous for little ones.
I don't have a child, the idea of this being an issue hasn't crossed my mind. Thanks for raising awareness, even if it seems a bit "overly protective" at first, after thinking about it, it totally makes sense why these are more of a problem than regular hard-plastic fridge magnets.
Not just kids but older adults who have advanced dementia.
It should for sure have a warning on the front of the package.
That's definitely a dangerous design.
all I think it needed was a small but clear graphic showing that it's multiple parts, some very small. as long as it's clear that there are small parts, it's no more of an issue than any other small household object.
when I was a kid I thought the perfect place to hold two quarters for a restaurants' small arcade was in my mouth. I wasnt wearing something with pockets, so in the mouth it went. tdlr nearly died because kids are dumb
You’re right. I also thought it was a pop-it after looking at the thumbnail as it looks like one. However I simply must be shocked that *I found this 58 minutes after the video was posted.*
I would have 100 percent chewed those when i was little. They do look like toys and candy and soft and chewy. Smart warning ⚠️ ❤
when i saw it i thought it was gonna be a teething toy, sad to see that it is NOT for oral fixation :(
i literally thought it was a pop it so imagine a child grabs it off the fridge
Me who actually swallowed a magnet last year: oh god never knew it would give me flashbacks😭😭😭😭😭
Idgaf about children, is it really worth calling 'the worst'?
Fidget "toys" aren't really toys and they're not designed for children. I can understand why your daughter liked the fidget toys that you gave her, but she's not really their target demographic. They're made for stressed out adults, people with anxiety, people with ADHD, etc. Definitely not toddlers.
However, this is really helpful info for anyone who has small children and decides to buy these. Or even people with dogs! LOL If they were scented, that would be kind of cool, but so much more dangerous. When my dog was young, she would literally eat ANYTHING.
Toddlers can definitely have autism and ADHD lmao and that's two of the biggest demographics for fidgets
@@systematicirony666 Where did I say that toddlers can't have autism or ADHD?! 🤦♀I've worked in medical marketing for over 20 years, I know a thing or two about the topic. Fidget toys can be helpful for many children, but not EVERY fidget toy is right for EVERY child. And, no, toddlers are not one of their "biggest demographics." Did you just pull that stat out of the air?
Yes, many of them are marketed towards children, but we're talking about children of a certain age. There are some toys that toddlers can fidget with, but anything with removable parts, small pieces, magnets, etc. is not appropriate for them and is not marketed towards them. (If there isn't a warning on the package, the company could and should be sued.) While children can often benefit from toys like these, they are only appropriate once the child is past the age of wanting to put everything in their mouth. You know...Like toddlers.
Just because something falls in the "toy" category doesn't mean it's appropriate for all ages. I shouldn't have to explain that.
I looked up magnetic fidget toys and every one that I found was recommended for kids age 8 and up. That's not a toddler!
@@Kristine_202
The fidgets I was thinking about being popular with toddlers were things like popits.
And I said that people with ADHD and Autistim were the biggest demographic for fidget toys. Not toddlers. But toddlers can be a part of that demographic because they can have either.
I thought it was a popit toy at first before watching.
I just noticed how new this is 😅
How new
1:59 "Anything which can pass through a toilet paper roll should be considered a risk"
I originally thought it was a cheap dimple pop it and that the bubbles popping off was the choking hazard
Watching this before I sleep🥱 Thanks for the info!
how could the things that people say made the universe get here is there was nothing God made it all so many prophecies are being filled from revelations telling us that Jesus is coming back they are happing right now in the world he loves and cares
couldn’t a child ingest the entire pea pod magnet?
This product could also be very harmful to pets!
as a mom that product is scary while my daughter is an adult now she is 23 she would have wanted that whether it was made for kids or not if she saw it
Yeah i would so eat that. Thanks for spreading info.
Please make video on those parents who make ridiculous toys using chickpeas and orbeez and say it's for kids to learn texture. 😂😂
I'm a grown adult, I have pica and I'm tempted to try and eat them even tho I know they're magnets
Your definitely right! This is all true and is a horrible way to make magnets, but if you don’t habe small kids it can be pretty cool
There should definitely be a warning not to buy it for your kids or something like that. Little kids spend a lot of time watching online videos these days, so they might see an ad for it, and ask their parent to buy it...
I think them being a choking hazard is already bad enough, but can such a weak magnet really cause so much trouble when ingested?
i do not like either of the foods that they look like, but i still would want to eat them if i were a small child. this is a serious hazard.
Cute but very dangerous. I (27 yo adult) saw the thumbnail and thought it was a fidget toy. Would never have it around small children.
I just started the video, they are very cute but I’M HERE 58 MINUTES AFTER THE VIDEO WAS POSTED!!!
As a mom of a 2yr old, i definitely feel like its something my daughter would think is ok to chew on. Just looking at it i wouldn't have guessed that there were those small parts that came off.
Hard yes on Water Beads and Magnets! My friends son almost died last Christmas after accidentally eating Water Beads
I thought these were popits-
Can you do a series in how to make a quilted blanket?
i mean. i'm an entire adult and those still look like they should be tasty. forbidden snacks level of temptation. absolutely should not be in a home with children
i thought these were pop its..........
Oh my god. Yes, i agree with the statement but what kind of a person it should be to not use their head when buying sth in the house with small children. Like, this is the kind of people who'd drink chemicals if there wouldn't be instructions not to do it
I thought it was a baby teether before you showed it was a magnet.
