Are Neodymium Magnets Safe?
no. They are not safe, in fact, the neodymium magnets we sell are very strong. So they are very dangerous. Care must be taken to avoid personal injury or damage to the magnet.
1. A strong attraction can cause serious damage.
Neodymium magnets are stronger than other kinds of magnets. The incredibly powerful forces between magnets often surprise those unfamiliar with their power. Fingers and other body parts can be sandwiched between the two magnets. With larger magnets, this type of injury can be serious.
2. Neodymium magnets are not suitable for children.
Neodymium magnets are not toys. Neodymium magnets should not be exposed to children. Small magnets can be a choking hazard. If multiple magnets are swallowed, they can connect to each other through the intestinal wall. This can lead to serious health risks that, if correctly diagnosed, require immediate emergency surgery.
3. Neodymium magnets can affect pacemakers.
Strong magnetic fields near neodymium magnets can affect pacemakers, ICDs, and other implanted medical devices. Many of these devices have the ability to deactivate them with a magnetic field. Therefore, care must be taken to avoid inadvertent deactivation of such devices.
4. Neodymium magnets are fragile and fragile.
Neodymium magnets are made of hard and brittle materials. Although they are made of metal and their nickel plating has a shiny metallic look, they are not as durable as steel. Neodymium magnets can peel, chip, crack, or shatter if allowed to be bumped together. Goggles should be worn when handling magnets, as broken magnets can fire small pieces extremely quickly. Neodymium magnets are not easy to drill or machine.
5. Magnets can affect magnetic media.
Strong magnetic fields near neodymium magnets can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic ID cards, cassette tapes, video tapes, or other such devices. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors, and CRT monitors. Avoid placing neodymium magnets near electronic equipment.
