Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

MRIMed Inc. MRI LED Mobile Exam Light Battery REF SL-111 This non-magnetic UL recall: Due to battery component overheating while charging resulting in melting

Recall published 8 months ago

Due to battery component overheating while charging resulting in melting of internal components and causing smoke.

The hazard: High-powered magnet hazard

The problem with this product is magnets coming loose. A magnet ingestion looks like an ordinary stomach upset for the first day or two, which is exactly why these recalls are issued.

What the notice says: Due to battery component overheating while charging resulting in melting of internal components and causing smoke.

Why it matters: Loose high-powered magnets are dangerous when more than one is swallowed. They attract each other through the walls of the intestine and pinch the tissue trapped between them, an injury that usually needs surgery.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

If you think a child has swallowed magnets — even if they seem entirely well — go to an emergency department and say magnets are involved. Early symptoms are indistinguishable from a stomach bug: stomach pain, vomiting, poor appetite. A single magnet may pass on its own; two or more rarely do, and the team needs to know how many are unaccounted for.

What to do about Magnets

MRIMed Inc. — The problem with this product is magnets coming loose. A magnet ingestion looks like an ordinary stomach upset for the first day or two, which is exactly why these recalls are issued.

  1. Put the product out of reach and count the magnets against the number the instructions say it should have.
  2. Check under furniture and along skirting boards — stray magnets travel further than you would expect.
  3. If any are unaccounted for and a child could have reached them, go to an emergency department and tell them magnets may have been swallowed.
  4. Make sure older children know that using magnets as fake piercings is a recognised route to a serious injury.

If the claim stalls

Most recall claims are paid without argument. The ones that stall usually stall for a reason you can fix.

  • Check you used the recall channel rather than ordinary customer support — the two queues rarely talk to each other.
  • If the company is unresponsive or has stopped trading, report it to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, and try the retailer in parallel.
  • Paid by card? A chargeback for goods that are unfit for sale is a legitimate fallback once the company has had a fair chance.
  • Send the photos they asked for in the format they asked for. A missing date code is the single commonest reason a claim sits unprocessed.
