Adobe has issued a recall of high-powered magnets distributed with Adobe ConnectTM “Effective Collaboration is Magnetic”, promotional materials used by the company. These kinds of magnets were recalled by a number of other companies after children swallowed the magnets and were injured. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has had 79 reports of children swallowing magnets and needing medical intervention, including surgery.
Our law firm has won several cases involving personal injury from high-powered magnets. In these cases, magnets were swallowed, causing intestinal obstructions and/or perforations. These children had to have surgery to get the magnets out of their intestines and repair the damage. You can contact us for a FREE consultation here.
When two or more magnets are swallowed, they can link together inside a child’s intestines and clamp onto body tissues, causing intestinal obstructions, perforations, sepsis and death. Internal injury from magnets can pose serious lifelong health effects.
The recalled high-powered magnet sets distributed with Adobe “Effective Collaboration is Magnetic” promotional materials were distributed in a green box with a black lid and contain 12 high-powered magnets which are magnetically affixed to a laminated green cardboard sheet. The spherical silver magnets are about 5 millimeter in diameter. The text “With Adobe Connect it all just clicks” is printed in a circular shape around the magnets.
