A magnetic fidget toy sold exclusively online has been recalled due to violations of federal safety regulations. The Chill Pill Magnetic Haptic Fidget Toy in the “Red Bumpy” variant poses a risk of serious injury or death if swallowed, prompting a nationwide recall. Roughly 112 units of the product, sold through FidgetThings.com between October 2022 and February 2025, are affected.

According to recall information, the toy contains high-powered magnets that can detach and be swallowed. If more than one magnet is ingested, they may attract each other through internal body tissues, potentially causing intestinal damage, infection, or fatal complications. Although no injuries have been reported to date, the product fails to meet federal magnet safety standards.
The toy resembles a pill capsule and separates into two magnetic halves — one white and one red with a textured surface. Packaged in a mock prescription bottle labeled “3DPrint Bumpy,” the toy is marketed as a sensory device that makes a clacking sound when the magnets connect. The interchangeable magnets are compatible with other fidget toys made by the same company.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Consumers are urged to stop using the toy immediately and keep it away from children. Refunds are being offered through the company, which is also providing prepaid return labels and disposal instructions. FidgetThings, based in Las Vegas, Nevada, is directly contacting known purchasers to facilitate the recall process.
