We Stand With Families of Children Hurt by Magnets
High-powered magnets are small, shiny, and easy for a child to swallow. When a child swallows two or more, they can pull toward each other through the walls of the stomach and intestines. The damage happens inside, out of sight, often before anyone knows something is wrong.
Osborn Machler & Neff has stood beside families through exactly this. Sim Osborn has represented families from 16 states in magnet injury and death cases and has recovered more than $30 million for them. He knows the medicine, the products and the companies that make and sell them. He also knows what these families go through, from the first emergency room visit to the long recovery that follows.
How Magnets Injure Children
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that when high-powered magnets are swallowed, they “can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.”
The children we represent have suffered:
Early symptoms can look like a stomach bug: belly pain, vomiting, fever or a child who will not eat. If you think your child swallowed a magnet, go to an emergency room right away, even if your child seems fine.
The Products Behind These Injuries
Magnets turn up in more products than most parents realize. Our cases and recent federal recalls involve:
In 2026 alone, the CPSC has announced recalls of magnetic ball sets, fidget toys, stick figure sets, chess games and building cubes, many of them sold on Amazon. If the product is still in your home, keep it. Do not throw it away or send it back to the seller. It may be the most important evidence in your child’s case.
Who Can Be Held Responsible
A magnet injury case can involve more than one company. Depending on the facts, responsibility can fall on:
The manufacturer that designed and built the product
The retailer or online marketplace that sold it
The importer or distributor that brought it into the United States
Any company that knew about the danger and failed to warn families or recall the product
Many magnet products come from overseas makers that sell through online storefronts and then disappear. Finding every company that shares responsibility, and a real source of recovery, takes investigation. We do that work so you can focus on your child.
What Your Family Can Recover
A claim can help your family pay for what this injury has cost and will cost in the years ahead, including:
Medical bills, past and future
Surgeries, hospital stays and follow-up care
Wages parents lost while caring for their child
Your child’s pain, suffering and emotional harm
The lasting effects of the injury on your child’s health
In the worst cases, the loss of a child and the grief that follows
